Theme: Rain drops

I love rain drops. They are so simple and beautiful.

Summer evening

Sunday!

Last night my family and I became members of Colonial Hills Baptist Church! We are very excited to see what the Lord has in store for us!!

When we finally arrived home, it was getting dark. I was greeted by these cute little tree frogs we have hanging around our house. (In fact, I counted 5 on one occasion). Anyway this little guy was stuck to our sidelight glass by our front door. It kinda looks like he is floating in mid-air!

He was still cute though.

Then we had a fantastic 4th of July! Our cousins came to visit from up North. I am so glad they were able to come. I had so much fun!

My brother, was in an annual 4th of July parade in the CAP Color Guard.

Then, my cousin and I (and Aaron) traveled to Falls Park to enjoy the beautiful day.

The water felt so good, we decided to step in.

 While we were wading, we noticed these tiny fish (minnows or something like that...they were not tadpoles). They were pretty easy to catch with our bare hands. So...we went fishing...without fishing rods!

Then we headed for Connor Prairie for Symphony on the Prairie, a patriotic concert with fireworks!

It was so crowded we had to sit on the side of a hill, which was pretty interesting.

We had a fairly decent view of the stage, although it was a little far.

Our view to the left...the prairie.

A hot air balloon flew right over us!!!

My cousin and I.

What is the 1812 Overture without cannons? And big, loud ones too.

And of course fireworks!! They are so difficult to take pictures of.

That was my 4th! Hope everyone else had a blessed time celebrating our country's birth!

When I consider...

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him?   ~Psalm 8: 3-4~

How wonderful to know that we are so loved by Christ, and yet in total relation to the universe we are so insignificant. That verse makes me thankful beyond belief that Christ gave His life for me so that I may be forever with Him someday. Just a thought that came to me today. Hallelujah! What a Saviour!

Pictures Prt. 2 ~~Sea World~~

I was so excited and thankful that during our visit we could explore Sea World! I loved Sea World!!!!

Shamu Show~The Stadium~

The guy who was part of the show...

...and of course some of the main stars...  :)

All lined up for the camera!!

Wow!! These animals are HUGE!! and so graceful.

The Lord is a marvelous Creator!!! What beauty.

Aww. Nice family shot a lady took for me. :)

Very sleepy sea turtles.

Next adventure... a ride in....

...a very tiny bucket... 

...on a very long, line. Yikes.

And, yes, I was very brave.

But, what a breathtaking view!

Then, we visited the shark tunnel.

Flamingo island.

Cute dolphin! I think he/she was smiling at me.

A sea-lion show, which was very funny.

Some very ugly eels. I could've stared at these guys for hours~ I could not believe how ugly they were!

Sorry to have to end with that picture, but I will have to post the remaining pics on yet another post (I can hear all of the yippees!).  :)  Until then,

Pictures Prt. 1

Here are pictures of my trip to CA!!! Part 1, anyway (I took alot, but I promise, I won't put them all up ;)

Sitting in the plane, waiting to take-off from Detroit

Our plane had TV's in the back of the seats!! I liked to watch the map to see how far we had to go until our arrival. I really do not like flying.

Another beautiful view. Over Iowa somewhere.

While we were flying over Arizona, it got so cold at 38,000 ft., that ice started to form on the windows. I did not like the looks of that, but the Lord protected us!

A mountain range; I do not think it was the Rockies, but the snow capped peaks were lovely! What an awesome Creator we serve.

San Diego mountain range.

Aircraft carriers docked in the bay. One of them, I think is the U.S.S Midway.

Welcome to San Diego!!!!!

Some absolutely gorgeous flowers from the highway! So pretty!!!!

Of course, I had to take a picture of a bird!! I think it might be a mockingbird, but I have not had time to confirm that yet.

Me!!!!

Pretty flower.

Me again. By pretty flower.

Well that's the end of part one!!!

The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth his handiwork. ~Psalms 19:1
