I love when a school lesson becomes a life lesson. Yesterday we had one of those days. What started as a science study of marine life wandered us over to the ocean for some surf and play and eventually landed us at Petco at 8pm! Ha! I laugh when we get ourselves into such events. It's fun! All 10 of us browsed the isles last night (half in PJs), looking for just the right aquarium for our home. We're still debating if it's the right choice for us (after all aquariums can be complicated), but the kids were excellent about leaving the pet store empty handed, though not empty hearted. We all had a great time!
Also, I think we were able to encourage the store manager who helped us out. We talked about adoption and God's love through ordinary folks like us and it seemed she felt the LOVE. Perhaps she's the reason we went on our aquarium outing in the first place. Time will tell if we'll be welcoming new pets into our family in the near future or not...stay tuned!
