Hit The Beach!

We were so thankful to be able to take a family vacation this summer! We went to Pompano Beach, Florida which is right outside of Fort Lauderdale. Here we are getting ready for the 14 hour drive!! Yes, 14 hours with a newly potty trained toddler!!! Yikes!! Actually C&C were so excited that the drive seemed to go by fast!
We surprised Clayton and stopped in Gainsville, Fla. to let him walk around the University of Florida. Most of you know that Clayton is a HUGE Tim Tebow fan. When asked to write about a hero in his life at school, he wrote: " Tim Tebow is my hero because he tells everyone about God. He inspires me to play sports and give the glory to God." We got so much joy out of watching him smile at everything he saw! This was Claire's first trip to the beach, so we were anxious to see her reaction......

Well here it is... Hahahaha! As soon as the waves touched her feet, she ran as fast as she could out of the water! No worries, she turned into a fish by the time our vacation was over!
On Wednesday nights at church, Claire goes to a class called "Puggles". The truth they learned this year was "God made everything!" I said, "Claire, this is the ocean that we have been telling you about! Do you know who made the ocean?" Without any hesitation she shouted, "God!"Our family had so much fun enjoying God's creation during this vacation!
