We have arrived in Panama city beach last night. We had a great trip. But the poor guys in the van and trailer had some difficulty. The got off late start because the trailer hitch broke and there was no one to repair it since it was a holiday. So they borrowed another trailer, unloaded and reloaded, pulled out of the parking lot and the tire blew! Good grief. So a new trailer and new tire later, they were finally on their way.
We are having a great time. I am just thrilled to be able to join the band this week. Otherwise, I would be stuck at home working and trying to find childcare. But it really is cool for me to be able to see my husband everyday and for the kids to see their daddy. And it is great to spend time with the guys of Echoing Angels. They are like my brothers now. God gives and takes away....A year ago, we felt like Trey needed to step down from leading worship at our church and concentrate on the band full time. It was such a heart breaking decision because they were our family. But God gave me a family with this band, brothers and sisters to share to journey.
The kids are having a great time. Fortunately there are no tar balls and the beached are great. It is more crowded than I thought it would be. The under current and waves are pretty big today so James' attempt to learn to boogie board today were not so fun. Eliza does not like to sand at all! But she loved to pool.
