The morning started early when all of the cousins showed up to get a beachside portrait for Grandma (shh!). Then swimming, beach combing for sand dollars(thank you Aunt Michelle), eating, playing board games, and ended with very tired goodbyes. It was wonderful. After everyone left we went and swam until the sun went down.
It is our last full day of vacation. I am sitting on the beach typing this entry(got to love technology) and watching the kids frolic in the waves with Dad. I love the feeling that doing meaningful yet not structured or scheduled activities with your family gives you. God knows when you need respite from doing His work. I truly hope that this week as given us enough “food” for His journey. I know that the road ahead of us is going to hard and heavy laden and I am grateful that I will have this week to pull strength from to get through it all.
