It's been awhile...

Mike and I play a game, when someone speaks a phrase that happens to be lyrics of a song, the other quickly sings that lyric along with a few that follow.  "It's been awhile", is one that we often sing.  It seems rather appropriate for this blog because the month that has past since I last posted AND the fact that I should get big points for working lyrics into a blog! 

To pick up where I left off, we had a wonderful time with Mike's parents.  The night before they caught a flight home, we had dinner at another themed restaurant in Downtown Disney.  This place was called T-Rex and I may have enjoyed this more than the Rainforest Cafe. 




This place had animatronic dinosaurs everywhere, but what I thought was unique was an entire room designed to look like it was carved out of an iceberg.  The walls, floor and ceiling were white, but lit up from the inside with different colors that cycled through neon pink, blue and white.  Then during the occasional meteor shower, the walls would change color and all the dinosaurs would move and roar.  It was very entertaining. 


You can see the walls behind the Woolly Mammoth in this shot.

The next night was just as exciting.  The Softley family was visiting family in Florida and after they enjoyed a day at Universal Studios, they met us at a nearby restaurant where we were able to have a quick bite with our dear friends.  The photo is fuzzy, but it was so nice to see them that I had to include it.  We also got the pleasure of meeting Andy's sweet nephew. 



Too soon after we sat down to dinner, the girls and I had to rush off for their first night of Awana at the church we've been attending.  This is such a fun program and the girls love it!  If you are not familiar with Awana, it's an amazing program designed to encourage kids to know God, memorize scripture with patches and trading card rewards for incentive and just have fun and socialize.  I think because my girls have been a little light on the socializing since we've been here, this was a wonderful mid-week opportunity to get some good "kid" time in.  They have been on fire ever since. 


The week ended without too much excitement.  I had been sick with a cold that didn't seem to want to go away, so we took it easy and just lounged around in our pajamas.  I know it sounds rough.











So until our next chat, may God keep you and bless you.
