Sunday, Day 34

Today the DEVIL got into my head.

Apparently chuch starts at 9am, not 9:30.  I would have nice had we realized this before arriving at the doors of the church at 9:32.  Matt even asked me yesterday if it started at 9 or 9:30 and I was sure it was 9:30.  Now, we have visited many different churches in the past 6 months, but no excuse!  I was awful, the Preacher was already preaching and we were too embarrassed to walk in.  Keeping in mind that at this church, you have to walk through the worship center, in front of everyone to drop off the kids.  There was no way we were walking in 30 minutes late!!

We were dressed up and the boys looked so nice :(  We even had the entire day planned.  Well, now we had 2 hours to kill before we were going to meet Candice and her family in Salisbury.

Matt was really disappointed, but we made the most of it and changed clothes and went on up to Dan Nicholas Park early.  The kids had so much fun.  It was only 100 degrees in the sun and the splash park was broken, but we still had fun.  Candice and her family got there a little after 1pm.  the kids rode the merry-go-round, the train went into the aquatic nature room.  They had so much fun, but the day wasn't over yet. 

Naps on the way home, stop to pick up some papers and back out to go camping at Crowder's Mtn.  NEVER a dull moment at Casa Woods!  Kids were rested when we got there and we were off on the 1 mile hike to the camp ground.  We set up camp, made a fire, dinner and had marshmallows.  That was all the boys could handle before they were asking to got to bed.  About 1 hour later, everyone was asleep, with glow sticks in hand.  It was an interesting sleeping experience, but we survived and everyone slept (some better than others).  We woke up at 6:30 (what's new ?) and made a fire, breakfast and believe it or no the kids were ready to go home.  Non-peacefully, but not miserable 1 mile walk back to the car and we were off to the house.

Wait... The day is still not over, but we can talk about Monday on the next days blog.

The only thing that I didn't like about this day was that we weren't able to read the Bible on the Kindle.  However, we did get to all sleep in a tent together under the stars that God gave to us.  PRICELESS!!
