Hey Everyone,

Well, sorry it was a quiet blogging weekend … I don’t typically do a LOT of blogging on the weekend, but I do typically try to catch up and read blogs on Saturdays when I can …

Not so this weekend – I made a wild decision earlier this week to sneak off to Orlando, FL with the family so the kids could enjoy the pools, slides, and characters at the Nick Hotel in Orlando, FL. We had a BLAST, and YES – we got slimed … several times. I probably still have some of the green stuff stuck down somewhere.

I don’t often take Sundays “off” … we left Friday (which is already my day off) and stayed Friday and Saturday nights, and got late checkout today (Sunday) and hung around the pools until around 4:00 PM. It was an incredible time for just us … myself, Joy, Jon Michael (7), Will (6), Rebekah (4), and Andrew (2). Kim Dixon led worship at SSCC and I knew it was in good hands … I hung out for her rehearsal with the band on Thursday night and can’t wait to hear more about it tomorrow. (Monday)

The best part is … I xferred points from my American Express Membership Rewards Program to the Holiday Inn “Priority One Club” to pay for the room, so it was essentially a free get-away, except for the gas and food. The A&W, Pizza Hut, and Subway in the “Food Court” of the Mall Area at the hotel were very good, and the prices were the same as if you went out anywhere else. YEAH!

Here are a few Treo shots … I should’ve taken a LOT MORE, and we didn’t even take ANY photos of us (or the kids), but we were constantly getting soaked, so having a camera or phone around was not very practical.

So readers, family, and friends … what did YA’LL DO this weekend?
