There’s no place like Rome!

This week was VBS at our church.  The theme was Paul and the Underground Church.  The kids had fun at the marketplace where they used coins to do crafts and buy food.  They also participated in Roman sports and games!  The Bible lessons were taught in the underground church.  The kids would visit Paul(Steve) first while he was under house arrest.  Then they would venture through a DARK cave to go to the underground church (the church was really dark!)  In the underground church they would talk with Lucia (Jess) and Agetha about the message for the day.  We really enjoyed being apart of VBS, even though we had to memorize a lot:)

Mom and Dad Carretto Visit

Steve’s parents and Aunt Beth visited us last week.  We did our best to show them the sites of South Florida.  We swam in the ocean, Steve and dad golfed, went on an airboat, and went to Lion Country Safari a drive through zoo.  We got some great pictures of animals right outside our car and even had a few cross the road in front of us!  All in all it was a great time had by all.

Man-o-war sting

Steve was in the ocean Monday, when he was stung by a man-o-war!  One of its tenacles wrapped around his left ankle.  You can see it is swolen and red.  He said that it really hurt and stung.  The lifeguards sprayed something on it to reduce the sting.  It continued to sting on Tuesday and it now looks like a scratch across his foot.  Many of you can probably imagine that he is very proud that he experienced it:)

Heat

Last weekend we went to the sixth game of the Heat v. Atlanta series.  It was a great time and the Heat played a great time!

Easter Egg Look-a-Likes

For a Easter meal we went over to our friend’s Peter and Sarah’s.  They made a wonderful meal.  We found our place seatings by finding our egg look-a-likes.  Above are the eggs that Sarah made to resemble us, if you look closely you might see the clerical on Steve’s egg:)

Captain Steve

A member from our church offered Steve the use of his boat whenever we would like to take it out.  These are pictures of Steve’s first time as captain!  We took the boat out in the inner coastal, admiring all the beautiful houses.  Abby was fortunate to be on the voyage:)
