This morning was the first morning of a history camp that our oldest son is attending.  That would have not been a problem, if I had not kept on pushing snooze and overslept by nearly an hour!!!!  Of course, that propelled our entire family, including my dear husband, into lateness with all 5 of us rising at our departure time!!!  ARGH!!!!  Talk about crazy, wild, racing around like chickens with our heads cut off!!   After 27 minutes the kids and I were on our way to a place we had never been!  I haven't navigated alone for awhile.... so we had an adventure!  We found the museum (30 minutes late), dropped Joshua off and then the girls and I were off for our adventure.  We went to a local Hands On Museum and it was the COOLEST PLACE!!!!  We had soooooo much FUN!!!   I don't who laughed more the girls or I.:)  Then we headed off to try to get close to the museum for lunch.  We found a spot next to a river and picnicked!  We waded in and were having a good time and then a woman came over with her two girls and we began talking.  She is having a BAD TIME!  We ended up talking for awhile and I was able to encourage her and share some of my testimony with her.  I am praying that God will guide her in wise decision making and that she will draw close to Him!!  I do not believe in coincidences..... so this was definitely an interesting, God -appointed part of our day!  After playing on the playground, the girls and I headed to pick up Joshua.  We were soooooooooooo HOT because even though we got it fixed last week..... the air conditioning is NOT WORKING again!:(  I felt like I was going to melt and the drive home seemed to take AGES AND AGES!!  We stopped to see our mechanic and begged him to see if it would be a quick fix.... he thinks that he knows what it is!  We are praying that he does and that he can fix it before we leave tomorrow!  I have realized what a TOTAL WHINEY WIMP that I am in the heat!  I checked the temp, it has only been 97 degrees today!! (UGH!!)  I was thinking of missionaries in foreign countries with no ac and no hope of cool down relief and boy, do I appreciate them even more!! :):)

Thank you God for camps, museums, adventures, rivers, food, friends and air conditioning!:):)
