On Vacation
Posted in General |Okay, so you’re wondering where are the posts?
Last Wednesday we loaded up the family and headed for a little summer vacation. As I write this morning, I’m sitting in Starbuck’s in Durango, Colorado. Man, is the weather nice! I’ll blog more thoughts when I return later this week, but here’s a highlight reel of our vacation…
Wednesday: Saw the Grand Canyon for the first time. We stopped in Tusayan to watch the IMAX film about the Canyon, then went and saw it for ourselves. The kids loved it. It was cool, but i couldn’t help but think of Chevy Chase’s reaction in the movie Vacation. Cool to see the kids experience things for the first time!
Thursday: drove to Purgatory in Colorado for a two night stay. Great mountain resort, with tons of fun stuff for the kids. My favorite part has been just sitting and talking with my boys. They’re so cool, and so much fun to be with.
Friday: Watched my oldest boy climb a rock wall for the first time. He rocked, and I could see a sense of accomplishment on his face! Dad was pretty proud too. Read stories from the Bible and talked as a family about how blessed we are.
Saturday: Drove to Lake Vallecito to hook up with Lori’s family for the week. Our cabin is what you’d call rustic, but it’s right on the front of the lake. The kids are having a blast with all of their cousins. They seem to enjoy the BB gun and fishing the most!
Sunday: Visited Vallecito Church this morning. It was great to sit in church with my kids; I don’t get to do that much :) I always want my kids to know that we go to church and worship because we love the Lord, not just because it’s my job. After church, we went creek stomping. The boys loved it, but the water up here is freezing!
That’s a wrap, can’t wait to see you this weekend!
