Sankey Sojourn

We had the pleasure last weekend of having Aunt Elaine and Uncle Murray come to visit Florida.  It was so fun to catch up and visit with them.  Zachary and Kaleb were intrigued to ask them questions about their bison, and of course see pictures!

Reading a Canadian Wildlife book with Auntie Elaine
We spent the day at Seaworld on Sunday - the entire day, which was kind of fun as we don't do that very often, so we were able to catch almost all of the shows which was a real treat.

Missing Karis, and Kaleb's face is dark, but Zachary was not in a "photo-mood" so we took what we could get! :)
Kaleb on the other hand was pleased to take pictures with Uncle Murray!
Ready for the Shamu Show
Best Seat at the Show - talk about riding in luxury!
Karis headed off for his second "male only" ski trip in Utah on Saturday, so Amy and the kids are batching it until Wednesday. We went over to Cochrans yesterday as they offered to watch Kaleb while Zachary was in Adventurers, so that was fun. Today we headed to the zoo to spend the morning with Deiningers, Hilliards and Cochrans. The weather was perfect, so we were really blessed!

All the kids, but Kieran is perfectly hiding behind Kaleb so he's not visible in this picture.  Bad photographer! :)

Phrase of the week:  Mommy, I prayed to Jesus that my head wouldn't hurt because I didn't take a nap today, and it worked! :)  Yeah, thank you God, it is awesome to have some "yes" answers to prayer to help teach your children about the power of prayer!

Glad you had a nice time with "The Sankeys"!! Talked to Elaine today and they said they had a great time with you 4. Just too bad Jeff & Niesha could not have enjoyed Sea World with you all.
Was it Zachary that prayed not to have a headache - amazing.
