Sorry, Noe...no alligators!

Since Dan had a conference  to attend in Orlando, he decided to take his family along and...invited us!  So, after I had spent two lovely weeks with Debbie and her family, I flew down and Germán flew up (from Quito) to Orlando.  We all arrived at the airport on the same day, at different hours.  How awesome it was for me to come down the escalator in the airport, see Noe (10), Micah (8) and Eli (5) waiting, and have them run over to where I was for a big communal hug!

There were so many things to do, we didn't need the theme parks!  There are an abundance of things like kids' museums, the Crayola Experience, water parks, fun restaurants in Disney Springs (like "T-Rex", the one where dinosaurs roar as you eat under a "meteor shower").  The kids loved the different stores with Leggos, Star Wars, and other interesting things...like jewelry and candy!

The lake in the picture was so pretty and peaceful...but we were warned about the alligators.  We saw some bubbles rising up to the surface now and then, and decided that the alligators just might be there.  But we never saw one, there or anywhere else, which was a great disappointment to Noe!

We have been the recipients of the blessing in Psalm 128:6: "May you live to see your children's children."

Dan and KC are faithfully instilling principles of a life lived according to God's Word in their offspring, who we pray will become strong members of the Family of God, so that the words of Colossians 1:12 will apply to them:

"...giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light."  

That inheritance is "incorruptible, undefiled, that does not fade away, reserved in Heaven for you."  (I Peter 4"1)
