Carowinds

On Wednesday, July 16, I took Ethan, Adam, Mikayla and Madison to Carowinds. We had a great time - despite the heat of summer. The kids and I took the blunge and rode "Drop Zone". Oh my gosh, what an adrenaline rush. You truly experience free fall and that moment in which you do not feel gravity. Glad we did it, but it was a "first and last" for me. My body and heart can't take that kind of rush too often! Ha! Ha! I still love all those rollercoasters. We rode everyone of them. Top Gun ( now the AfterBurn) is still my favorite!!!

We spent the afternoon at the water park. I enjoyed myself as I lounged by the Wave Pool. At their age, they are able to stand in those long water slide lines by themselves. Trust me young mothers, there will come a time that you will see your hard work pay off. As sad as it is to see them grow up, I love the fact that I can see them stand on their own two feet and make WISE decisions. That is the continuous theme of children's church and I see it in the lives of my kids every day. I am so blessed!!

Although handing out at Carowinds all summer is not my idea of a good time, I sure do enjoy being with my kids!!! And to think that I use to work every summer and miss this time with my children when they were younger. Boy how God can change your priorities and make you see what is really important!
