We were on vacation...

Last week was Spring Break for our kids. Wow! I have SOOOOO much to be thankful for.

801. My parents graciously took all five grandkids for the whole week and celebrated Cousins Camp.

802. A camp theme song about sticking together as cousins.

803. A camp flag and fun themes for the kids to enjoy every day of camp.

804. Happy smiles and content hearts when we returned to pick them up.

805. Energy supplied by the Heavenly Father to my parents. They did not even look exasperated when we arrived after a week with five kids!

806. A fort in the basement to sleep in every night.

807. My kids teaching me about sandhill cranes.

808. If that were not enough...my parents sent my sister, brother-in-law, Ryan and I to Las Vegas to visit my brother!

809. A hug from my brother.

810. His thoughtfulness to us while we were there.

811. Going to his church...AMAZING SERVICE!

812. Laughing with Shawn and Lisa over Coca-Cola.

813. Time with my husband. It is ALWAYS a blessing to our marriage and to my heart.

814. A trip to the Morman Temple to ask questions and learn about that faith. It was so good to challenge our faith in Christ and His Word with others' ideas. It provides us with great conversation and directs us to the Word of God more intentionally to find Truth.

815. Back to our routine today...it is good to be home.

816. Open windows and fresh breeze.

817. Snuggles with my kids.

818. A strong run with my friends...always great conversation.

819. Sunday night dinner with the best of friends.

820. Parents vs. Kids "epic" kickball game!
