Trip to Sea World Part 2

Posted in Family, Homeschooling, and Outdoor Adventures

I am so grateful for companies who offer special discounts for military members and their families.  We were able to go to Sea World San Diego for free.  Yes, we still had to pay $12 for parking, but that was our only cost.  We just had to show our military ids at the gate, and we received complimentary tickets for the day. At the different shows, they had the military members stand up to be recognized and thanked for their service.  Since I’m proud of our men and women in uniform, I enjoy seeing all the service members being recognized…

Trip to Sea World Part 1

Posted in Family, Homeschooling, and Outdoor Adventures

We had told Munchkin that once she completed her Marine Biology class that we would head to Sea World.  Sadly, she finished some time ago, but things seemed to keep us from heading over there.  Finally, we just decided that we were going and went.  We’re a little less than 3 hours from Sea World, so we decided that we would just drive over in the morning and head back at night. When the headaches hit last week, I was concerned that we wouldn’t be able to go, but I woke up Saturday morning with a very minor headache.  Off…

The Bible

Posted in Christian Life, and Holidays

We are blessed to have many different Bibles around the house in various translations (only a few are shown above).  Munchkin found 2 of D’s from his childhood just the other day.  I pulled out a couple of my own Bibles from when I was younger.  It’s fun looking back at the Bibles from our youth.  At the same time, it reminds us how fortunate we are to have more than one Bible in our home.  There are too many people not only abroad, but also here in the U.S. who don’t even own a Bible. Just having Bibles sitting…

Our Dishwasher

Posted in Holidays, and Homemaking

Munchkin started helping with dishes when she was fairly young.  Originally, she just unloaded the dishes from the dishwasher and put them away.  As she got a bit older, she started loading and unloading the dishwasher as well as hand washing dishes as needed. When we moved here, we found that our dishwasher did not work.  In fact, our dishes came out more dirty than when they went in.  Since we live on base, we have notified housing a few times, but nothing they did fixed the problem.  I grew tired of calling, so Munchkin started washing all dishes by…
