Attack!

It was a beautiful, sunny day after church one Sunday when we took the Swiggards boat out on Clear Lake for the afternoon! What fun we had being together, taking in the sights, having lunch, taking a dip in the lake, seeing Kemah from the water side, etc... Things couldn't have been going better until.... we decided to take another dip. Everyone was in at some point except me and Karen. Then slowly the kids were getting out when chaos started... Scott was yelling, "Get Out!", Braden was screaming uncontrollably, and we scrambled to get everyone out of the water. It was very scary!!! Braden and our friend, Mr. Scott, ended up with the worst of the stings and Tom had a little sting on his elbow. We had no idea what had happened until much later when we were able to process the whole thing. We think it was a jellyfish... No fun! Braden was so brave and tells a good story about the whole ordeal. Need-less-to-say none of the kids wanted to go swimming in the lake at their camps. It will probably be long time before we go in Clear Lake again...

God's protection and guidance were evident that afternoon!
