I know I can still greet you since it's still Easter, technically speaking it ends when Jesus Christ ascends to heaven :)
How was your Easter? I hope that you had a blast, just like we did. :)
As you very well know, my family flew to the Gold Coast over the Easter long weekend.
It was a first for me and my family since we usually spend our Holy Week doing and attending church services. Sadly, I wasn't able to do my online retreat as when we got to the GC we were on our way to our first stop, Seaworld. Well, being away from home didn't hinder us from attending to our Christian duties. In fact, it was an extra effort on our part to really sacrifice theme park time for church services.
On Good Friday, we had to cut short our trip to the Seaworld resort. After lunch,we just watched the Dora show (which Sam really enjoyed), checked out some kiddie rides for Liam, rode the monorail, and watched the Spongebob Parade. After that, we had to leave, even if we haven't explored the entire park. We promised that we will still go to church on that day and a promise is a promise. I bet most people will not do what we did, thinking it is absurd. With the very limited time that we have there, we might have opted to grab the opportunity and could have decided to stay. But we know our priorities :) After all, we have Easter because of what Jesus did for us.
Here are some photos:
After the Good Friday service, we had the chance to explore Mermaid Beach and Surfers Paradise.
It was a lovely evening to take a stroll along the beach. The weather was great and the moon was full :) Too bad I wasn't able to capture the beauty of that night :) Not to mention that we were able to see and check out some of the outlet shops in Surfers Paradise :)
After our FASTing turned into FEASTing (thanks to the dinner we had with our other CFC bros and sis), we called it a day.
Another beautiful day was in store for us :)
