"If our devotion is to the cause of humanity, we will be quickly defeated and broken-hearted, since we will often be confronted with a great deal of ingratitude from other people. But if we are motivated by our love for God, no amount of ingratitude will be able to hinder us from serving one another."

oh, those wildwood days!

we're baaaaack!
i happily present to you, wildwood 2012 in all its glory.
our weather was spectacular!
the only thing missing was the colvin family.
WAAAAAAAH!!!!!!
 room 308 this year
 the view
friday was sunny and beautiful
the boys took full advantage of the pool.
 chicken fights
 such fun, flitting from room to room visiting,
hanging by the pool or just snacking and chilling with friends and family.
 they guys played bochi ball and basketball, wiffle ball too
 friday night shawn took the boys up to the boardwalk to
play at gateway.  no thanks.  i waited until saturday to go up on the boards.
i enjoy watching them go on the rides and that's it.  i'm so not an arcade girl.
we had fun walking up with dan and becky hagerty.
 titus was invited to take a practice throw for free.
he made it.
 the cousins looooove the squirt gun game.
woot hoot!  grace won!
 mom and uncle ed took the tram car up to avoid the long walk.
they have their tickets and they are ready for the rides!
 okay, why the log flume ride first, i dunno.
it was already cold out in my opinion.
now they are soaked.
silly kids.
 next crew!
 looks like fun, but so glad it wasn't me walking around wet the rest of the night.
 the "littles" enjoying their time on the kiddie rides!
 one of my favorite rides.  but i declined due to a headache.
didn't think it was a good idea to push it.
 these two crack me up!
 titus loooves roller coaster!  ugh.  no thanks.
 mom and i left the crew up there and took the tram car back
with couple pit-stops, of course.
 sunday morning worship hour
 so thankful for the legacy of a God loving family.
 it was quite chilly and windy, but we braved it to sing and lift up
praises to our King.
 
 the Lord used shawn to challenge us to
live out the gospel in our daily lives.
such an honor that they asked him to speak this year.
i was blessed.
shays wildwood 2012
so thankful for this opportunity to finally get back to the shore!
it's been waaaay too long.
already begun the countdown til next year!

Where do you all stay? We are Wildwood Crest people from way back. Looks like you are in North Wildwood. Is it like a family reunion? Looks like a lot of fun and you sure did have a beautiful weekend to be there!
