A LIttle Vacation Time

The weekend of August 12 we left a couple of days early and spent some time with Jody's parents in Ft. Worth. We were going to a Wild West Show in the Ft. Worth Stockyards, but calling on the way, we found out that there was no show. We had to change our plans. We found a Star Wars exhibit and went through it. The boys loved it.

After the exhibit, we drove to Hillsboro, TX, and spent the night on our way to Austin and Schlitterbahn. We checked into the hotel and went swimming. The boys thought it was the greatest - they love to swim. We got up early Friday morning to leave for Schlitterbahn. The boys had a blast at the park. Jody and I quickly learned that this was a place for a 9-month old and a almost 3-year old. Bethany did ok, but she needed constant supervision, as did Melody. Andy and Josiah were able to do some things by themselves. After the water park, we drove to our hotel in Austin where we would spend the next two night, just down the streeet from Onion Creek Baptist Church - where I would preach Sunday morning.
