Vacations are quite fun! I mean, let's think about this. Throw together 10 (yes, I said TEN) people from one family and its a recipe for guaranteed sibling love and parental bliss for three days...
But actually, we're having a pretty good time so far! Dad rented a big cabin at Grand Bear Lodge by Starved Rock. Its really nice! The cabin has three floors: the main floor has a huge living room with a kitchen and bathroom. The basement has two bedrooms. One room has two sets of bunkbeds. The other has two double beds with a jacuzzi! Then, the upstairs floor is the master bedroom where mom and dad are staying with another jacuzzi. Thow in some of the fireplaces and its just lovely!
The lodge also has an amusement park that we checked out last night and a huge waterpark. The slides are lots of fun and the wave pool is exciting. Kristi and I are taking advantage of the coffee shop and Wi-fi right now. Kendall and the little girls are diligently counting hundreds of tickets right now. The arcade is making way too much money off of them right now..crazy kids!!
Overall, it's lots of fun when Dad decides to spend money ;)
Some good thoughts that I learned from yesterday...
**There are two groups of people:
1) believers
2) non-believers
Yes, I think there can be some deviation from this. But overall I think the point being made was that we can split so many hairs over the little things when we need to be focusing on the big picture: Jesus our Savior and the people who need to know about Him!
** We can waste alot of time and energy being bitter and hurt by others or situations. In reality, we really can't control what others are doing or what is happening around us. What we CAN control is our own attitude. You are just as happy as you make up your mind to be!
Be happy,
Love lots-
K.
