Packing and loading the car to head home seemed a LOT easier than the other way around.
The past couple of years, we have stopped for breakfast at the Chick-Fil-A in Gulf Shores on our way out of town...and that's what we did again this year. Just a fun tradition...or, as Joshua would say: TRANdition.
A fun trandition to end the week.
And while my posts usually have a lot of Joshua stories and funny things he says...we call these "Fredisms," (because we call him Fred)...today's post is brought to you by the clueless-ness of my husband. Clark's girlfriend had a picture of baby Clark on her phone...Clark had sent it to her at some point, I'm sure. But she turned her phone around at the table and showed all of us. My husband, who would be Clark's DAD, glanced up from his coffee and said, "Cute. Whose baby?"
ANYWAY...we headed out of town and into some moderately scary weather. I was nervous with my kids following our car when the skies were clear and the roads were dry. It could barely handle it in this weather.
The kids were basically unaware of the situation, which was good. They decided to watch a movie on the way home. Logan hadn't seen "Froze"n" so he decided to break down and watch it...and Holly was only too happy to oblige. Joshua hadn't seen it, either, so they started the movie. Even tho I couldn't hear the movie from my seat up front, I could hear them singing along, and you know what's funny? People who wear head-phones and sing along to music none of the rest of us can hear.
And then we stopped to change drivers. Holly and Logan got in the Camry, and Clark and Faith got in our car and guess what movie they wanted to watch? "FROZEN!"
Poor Joshua!
We obviously made it home safely...and we were thankful we did. But the next day, we woke up to hear that there was torrential rain and flooding and storms and possible tornadoes...RIGHT ALONG THE VERY PATH WE TOOK ON OUR WAY HOME.
The Lord truly protected our family on our drive.
We were thankful for our time away. Thankful that Logan got to join us this year. He and Morgan typically go on a mission trip with their church over Spring Break. This year, with their upcoming wedding, they decided to skip the mission trip. Morgan stayed home with her family, and Logan came with us. It was great to have all 4 kids together.
