Family Time

School was recently closed here for the Augusta Masters Golf Tournament. It was amazing to us, being new to Georgia, how much time and effort was put into preparing for the masses that came to watch this golf match. The roads were repaired, signs put up around town ("Golf Traffic This Way"), golf carts were parked in front of businesses, and the newspaper printed a whole 10 page section every day just for golf/Masters fans. As our pastor said if only people would put that much time and effort into preparing for the true MASTER to arrive.

Anyways, because of all this hoopla, our family and other GA families got a whole week off of school! YEAH!! Many people left town, but we stayed close to home. We used this time to be together as a family. We rarely answered the phone, we did some day trip events, watched movies, went to the park and tired to relax.

It was a good time, to pretend we were away and just do nothing if we didn't want to and do something if we wanted to. Don't we all need times like this? We sure did!

Here are a few pictures of some of the fun we had during spring break!

At "EdVenture" in Columbia SC. Huge children's museum. This 5 story boys behind us was made to scale and the kids could climb inside him; through the brain, intestine, heart. Awesome!

Can't take the "African" out of the boys! Great display about West Africa. Boys are playing drums and dancing along with a green screen African band.

Playing with bubbles. Fun!

( Look on top of Micah's head. These were long lasting bubbles.)

A free spot that we love to visit. A small fall along the Canal. The boys played for hours, I even left to get lunch and came back for some more time in the water.

This is what is is all about. Rest. Being together.

The water was irresistible. Micah went in clothes and all. SMILE!
