Where else can you strike a cool pose with Spiderman except at Universal Studios? We even got his autograph!
Pictured here with Spiderman is my niece Sami (left) and Amy. We were there at Universal Studios on Thursday. The waterplay area got the kids soaked, perfect for a hot day of over 90 degrees. The Jurassic Park river ride got the rest of us wet too.

Our church was transformed into Bethlehem Village this week for Vacation Bible School 2006.
