Hellllooooo Sunshine!!

There is nothing better than swimming outside in February.  We had a beautiful pool and lots of friends to enjoy the sunshine with!  It was wonderful! Some of our favorite things to do, while not in meetings, is to swim, eat wonderful western and Mexican food, and hang out with friends.  So we did a lot of all of it!!

CANNONBALLLLLL!!!!

This became quite the game at the pool. 2 dads, small children flying through the air.
Yes, this is Hudson.

We love Mike's burgers!!

Different day, same food.  Hudson's love language is burgers.

We also had the opportunity to attend some meetings and have corporate worship and teaching while we were there.  I have to admit I never realize how much I miss meeting with other believers in a corporate setting until I am there and the tears are rolling down my eyes, and my soul is refreshed and encouraged by so many gathering together in one accord!  I am truly looking forward to that aspect of returning home this year.

There was a precious group of people who came from America to love on our kids during the week and give them a wonderful week.  Hudson participated in VBS and went to the zoo with all of his buddies.  Hannah was part of the youth, each day leaving the hotel and venturing out in the world with other kids her age.  SHE LOVED IT!! One of the events was a day of ziplining 100ft. in the air through a forest, followed by river rafting and elephant riding.  Yes, she had the time of her life.  Living where we do, with no other English speaking children their age, these weeks with friends are such a highlight!

We are truly blessed and thankful for such a wonderful week!
