Ike









We took the kids down to the beach yesterday to see the waves that Hurricane Ike was kicking up. Earlier on Thursday some storm surges had flooded streets in Panama City and even shut down parts of HWY 98. Maddie and Sam of course didn't understand why we went to the beach if they couldn't swim, but they finally were content to play in the sand- they didn't even look twice at the waves! You can see how big the swells are in the picture of Troy walking away from the ocean. If you have ever been to Panama City you know that these are really big waves for us! I know it's a crazy dangerous storm and we are praying for everyones safety as it makes landfall.

Those pictures could easily win a photo contest....a beautiful family set against God's beautiful, hand-painted handiwork.
