Spring Break....highlights!

As much as I 
LOVE
a good vacation...
this year's spring break was quiet, peaceful and relaxing.
I LOVED 
every minute of it!
I created a schedule...as my kids say,
"I'm a control freak!"
But keeping control meant that the ENTIRE house got clean,
kids had a constant flow of 
friends in and out of the house,
I still managed to get work done, laundry put away, and even to read a BOOK!
(That never happens anymore!)
But just like every controlled stretch in our lives...
it also means we can let loose for a few days and have a little FUN!
We were able to go camping with
FRIENDS
who are the best in the whole world
and who made us feel like we had one BIG new extra family.
 
Jacob loved the opportunity to get dirty and play with WORMS!

Chris loved playing in the creek...and playing 007 at night with the BIG kids.

Katie met and made LOTS of new friends.

We all had fun doing some archery!

Rachel can have fun anywhere...as long as she is with friends!

I didn't even have to have them POSE for this picture...they were just sitting there...talking and hanging out!

We took a HIKE to the concrete block...

Think of the show "LOST" with the HATCH!  (creepy!)

We played LOTS and LOTS of games!

We drove to a GORGEOUS waterfall...and if you look at the start of the waterfall, you will see grandpa Letner on the ledge!  (Gives you some perspective on how BIG the waterfall is!)

...the boys' weren't scared not even one bit!

Rachel wouldn't get in the FIRST picture...

she was terrified of the height...however, we finally convinced her but I still just laugh looking at the picture to see how far away she stood from the edge!

Ron enjoyed the COOL mountain air...I loved the BIG campfires and smores!

Rachel enjoyed staying 2 extra days hanging with Amorette...while we had to leave early!

I also LOVED taking pictures...and this BABY is so cute, I can't resist taking pictures of him!

I loved witnessing this moment...brothers walking down the path arm in arm.

Jacob had so much fun riding his bike to the creek...with the DOGS in tow, that I couldn't resist a little bike ride of my own.

Goodbye...Reynold's Creek...

until FALL break where we will be there for the ENTIRE weekend!

 

Lots of love to our dear friends the Letner's who made us truly feel like we were part of their family!
