The Beach

So we decided to hit the beach this past Sunday for the semi-annual beach baptisms our church holds at Bethune Beach, close to New Smyrna. It was the first time we had Zander at the beach since he was about 9 months old. It was a good time. Evan and I were both baptized at this same beach about 4 years ago and while we were there this time, Dwight Howard, who goes to our church, was also baptized. Since Evan and I have always had a love for the NBA, this was kind of fun. It wasn't a spectacle or anything, he didn't try to attract a lot of attention, just had a few family members and friends with him. Somehow the media did get ahold of it though, so you can read more about it here.


During the service they hold on a grassy area overlooking the beach, Zander was hamming it up with everyone, demanding high fives. Everyone was grinning ear to ear watching him, including us. Here are a few pictures and video footage.

The church provided BBQ for everyone and the weather was perfect. It was a great day in God's creation enjoying our family!
