Spent all day at Lady Oaks day races. Races really aren't about racing at all. Just about hats and dresses and bets. Although I'd say it was an interesting experience, horse racing is about as fun as watching paint dry hahaha...Luckily, drunk people and well-dressed Aussie men were plenty for our viewing pleasure! It was fun to get dressed up (as well as we could with what we brought) and spend a nice day outside watching horses occasionally run around a track. Check horse racing off  my life list.

What was more---we found an awesome hole in the wall Thai food place in Mooloolaba! (full of locals--always a good sign hey?!) Nothing like warm delicious Pad Thai for dinner!

We are all very very ready for a marathon beach day tomorrow! It's going to be 24! yahooo! (approx 78) That's the warmest its been in a long time---I'm so ready to practice my long lost beach bumming skills--there will be napping, possible reading, more napping, music, and maybe even some sushi involved. Not too shabby---I can't believe we have a whole week off to "study"! Time to live it up! There's lots of potential plans looming for these last few weeks on the Sunny Coast!

"When God spoke from Mount Sinai His voice shook the earth, but now He makes another promise: 'Once again I will shake not only the earth but the heavens also.' This means that all of creation will be shaken and removed, so that only unshakeable things remain." --Hebrews 12: 26-27

" So take a new grip with your tired hands and strengthen your weak knees; mark out a straight path so that those who are weak and lame will not fall but become strong." --Hebrews 12: 12-13

"...continue to work out you salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose. Do everything without complaining or arguing so that you may become pure and blameless, children without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life." -Phil 2: 12-16


pictures tomorrow--I'm tired out! Have to get a good night's rest in preparation for gettting even more sleep in tomorrow :)
