A Good Time was had by all

Our family had a wonderful time celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. We saw some old friends and met some new ones. We had a bump in the trip when John's mom, Brenda, fell in the parking lot on the first day. While she did not break any bones (a miracle in itself), she was badly injured and had to be in a wheel chair for the entire trip. Thankfully, family was around to help her. I helped with the Junior Sabbath school where Micah attended, Caleb and Sarah attended their own classes, and John attended a few seminars in addition to all of us attending the sermons.

The guys went on a fishing trip. And Micah and Caleb were both able to go for the first time. While, they didn't catch any fish to keep, they had a great time being on the boat.

It is so beautiful at the ocean. I would live there if it weren't for hurricanes. You really do see the awesome beauty of God's creation. How the tide comes and goes, the incredible sunrises and sunsets, the smells, and the amazing animals.

And when you're laying on the sand, it really gives new and incredible meaning to the scripture in Genesis 22:17 "That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as

the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;." I hope you enjoyed these pictures.
