"We shall individually be held responsible for doing one jot less than we have ability to do...But when we give ourselves wholly to God, and in our work follow His directions, He makes Himself responsible for its accomplishment. He would not have us conjecture as to the success of our honest endeavors. Not once should we even think of failure. We are to cooperate with One who knows no failure." ~Messages to Young People, p. 309

Come On, Get Hot!

Yesterday our family went to Lake Winnepesaukah, a family amusement park in Chattanooga. It was a lot of fun, or shall I say, quite the experience! :P It was very very hot, but we still had a lot of fun.

Some of our favorite rides we went on was some antique cars, a 1916 merry-go-round, some flying elephants, as well as a train. Alison enjoyed the kiddie rides, and a kid-sized roller coaster kind of ride called, "Wacky Worm".

Later we when we were eating a thunderstorm came! Everything cooled down, thankfully. Of course we didn't want to get wet, but as we went back to the van we realized, "Before the storm we were drenched in sweat, now we're drenched in rain!"
 All in all it was a very fun trip. Scroll down for more pictures I took at Lake Winnepesaukah! :D

^^Here they go...

^^Alison and Dad on the antique car ride. Mom & I rode in the blue car right behind them. I drove it; Mom says I got an A+ on the driving test! (Of course, the guide rail in the middle of the road sure helped a lot!)


^^Part of the 1916 merry-go-round.



^^My sister could live on a carousel! ;)


^^If you think in the picture that I'm a little taller than you remember....you're right! I was in front of a mirror which made me look really tall! ;)



^^Mom riding an elephant.


^^Who says elephants can't fly?


^^From the perspective of one riding behind the elephant's head... ;D


^^Dad and Alison sailing by...


^^Another of the rides, we didn't go on it.



^^I really liked this sign! :)



^^Dad and Alison waiting for the train.



(above and below): Pictures of the train.







^^The train was on the far side of the lake when I took this picture. If you look hard, you'll see the park by the horizon.



^^Apparently the geese ignored the "No Lake Entry" signs....or maybe they couldn't read the signs? ;D HAHAHAHA



^^I wasn't too sure about getting water out of this guy! ;)



^^Alison on the cars...



^^ ...the deafening motorcycles...




^^...and the Spin-U-Round ride which I can't remember the name of!
