Our Family just finished a special night at Buca Di Beppo in Jacksonville Florida. being that we live in Mena, Arkansas, we don't have a Buca in our home town, so it is a pretty special privilege to get to visit one. Jen and I had been to Buca in Nashville prior to tonight, but the kids had never been. We had called ahead and reserved the table in the Kitchen, just perfect for our family. You actually sit in the kitchen and watch the wait staff and chefs work. Our server was great and the chefs were fantastic. They chatted with the whole family through the meal. They even cooked a couple of their favorites for us and gave it to us (added to the obscene amount of food we had already ordered.) To put it short we had a wonderful time and made a great memory. Abby's favorite food in the world is cheesecake; You should have seen her eyes when the huge piece arrived at the table. It was a great memory...one of many.

This is the third year that we have been priviledged to be in attendance at the Florida CMA State Rally, held at the Salvation Army Campground in Keystone Heights Florida. We always enjoy the facilities and it is one of the kids favorite places to visit. There are always alot of other children to hang with and plenty of things to do. Last year, my cousin Jeremy Henderson, presently in Jacksonville, FL. came to minister to the students, and this year he came back to hang with us. We really had a great time. The kids literally talked his ears off, and I remembered just how much I missed him. The picture is taken outside during the bike games of which we were only spectators. Jeremy wanted to take my bike out for a spin and he was pretty excited about it (enough to forget something important). took my bike for a spin and I think he was really enjoying it until his helmet flew off. (I don't think he was really going that fast.) Anyways, we really had a good time together.

After a CMA event near Warner Robins Georgia, we took a special day with the family and mom and dad at the Georgia Aquarium. I was absolutely blown away with the scale of this attraction. If you get a chance to go, you should. It really was more than I expected. We all had a great time and the kids especially were wide eyed. I have captured some of the pictures that the boys took on my photo stream (Some of them are pretty unbelievable).
