Vacation- part 2

On Monday morning, we were asked to come to an orientation meeting for our week. All I was told ahead of time was to come at 10am and hear about all the options for our week. Then I was to go home and discuss everything with the family and let them know what we wanted to do. I had NO idea what I was in store for. I was presented with two pages of activities for our family to choose from. All arranged AND paid for. I had to do none of the work! Some of the options were surf lessons, tennis lessons, golf lessons, parasailing, coast guard tour, mulitple free dinners, amusement park tickets, water park tickets, the list goes on.....So after we made all our choices we decided to spend the afternoon at the pool and then get ready for our CRAB dinner. This was so exciting. Even the kids were thrilled! We went to the restaurant, told them where we were from, and they sat us at a table with all the other families from Believe in Tomorrow. It was really neat because we ended up sitting next to a family whose son also has neuroblastoma. What a humbling discussion. We were freshly grateful for the mercy that the Lord has shown Sarah and our family. Anyway, back to the food. Once we sat down the food and drinks kept coming. Hushpuppies, fries, fried clams, corn, fried chicken, ribs, and crabs. It was amazing! The bill was all covered and they won't even let you leave a tip! As you can see Sarah loved the corn. There was a little girl there that spent most of the night cutting corn for Sarah. Too sweet!


After dinner we decided to take the kids miniature golfing with our coupons, and then ice cream. Since Dave and I grew up going to this area we took them to a golf course that we have been to many times, and a favorite ice cream place of Dave's. We had such a great time. The kids loved golf and Sarah spent her time lounging in the stroller. Fun times!
