saying good-bye to our nature retreat...

a change of pace :: quick stop home and then we headed south to the big city

oh, the joys of childhood :: there's nothing quite like jumping on a hotel bed! 

pictures of 'the big city' to come!  enjoy your weekend, friends....

nature center exploration :: moose, coyotes, and other wild things :: extra-long snake skins amazing a little boy ::  trail hikes and walks (begged for by the children!) :: more paddle boat rides :: swimming :: baby feet and hands :: planning for bike rides :: beauty and moonlight

struck by the wonder of it all.

UNO games right after breakfast :: paddle boat rides :: have blender, will travel with green smoothies :: in awe of His beauty filling our senses :: sunlight, warmth :: quiet hour activities :: bubbles (enjoyed by Mama as well) :: thinking, talking, sharing :: ideas and plans for our stay here :: excited voices of little ones.....


a pause from the everyday.

And, here’s a picture of little piggies in the sunlight.  Just because.
