Hello everyone in florida!
This trip has been amazing so far and we are excited to see what the Lord will continue to do...
We woke up pretty early this morning and ate breakfast at 7:30 (which was an amazing feat considering we had TEN, yes, TEN girls in one room all showered and ready-to-go on time). We ate at this awesome mom & pop restaurant across the street called "our place - home cookin' and 25 cent coffee". Probably the best part of that experience (aside from the massive pancakes and biscuits & gravy) was the sweet lady who had to inform us floridians that we were drinking our hot chocolate wrong. It came in these great little containers and we all thought they were great and drank right outta them, until she informed us we should pour it out into our mugs. it was pretty fun. the exchange went something like this:
waitress 1: son, you do know you are supposed to pour that into a mug.
zach russell: oh. um...i am?
waitress 1: *smiles* where you from?
bud: florida. we don't drink hot chocolate in florida.
waitress 1: that's okay son.
zach russell: so...see that whole table over there? they're drinkin it wrong too
waitress 1: that's horrible!
zach russell: i know!
waitress 1: (to other table) oh no! you have to pour it into the mugs!
waitress 2: (from other side of restaurant) where are they from?
wairess 3: (from somewhere else in the restaurant): florida!
miscellaneous staff and seasoned patrons: oooooooooohhhhhh.....
it was pretty hilarious.
okay. so now we are loading up the luggage into our various vehicles and will be hitting the road in t-minus 5 minutes (weird!!!!! i was writing it and kaulana said it out loud at the same time...) we are super-excited for the drive to yellowstone, which is apparently one of the most scenic drives in the country. we have a bit over two hours to drive through it, and then....
YELLOWSTONE!!!
...we can hardly wait...
*stay tuned for photos!*

O Lord, our Lord,
ReplyDeletehow majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory
above the heavens.
From the lips of children and infants
you have ordained praise
because of your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.
When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him?
You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory
and honor.
You made him ruler over the works
of your hands;
you put everything under his feet:
all flocks and herds,
and the beasts of the field,
the birds of the air,
and the fish of the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.
O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth! Ps. 8
OHHH..I can't wait to see pics!!!
