When we were first planning taking the children to the zoo, my sister and her husband invited us to stay with them at what she said was a really nice hotel. They had gotten a room...well, it's really like a little apartment...2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, dining room, and living room.
She told me there was lots to do and the children would have fun.
Yes, that they did! We felt very spoiled!
Here's a few pictures from yesterday...
We had an entire pool all to ourselves!
They had a little pool for the little ones :-)
My sister Julee, me, and my Aunt Claudia.
Aunt Claudia and Uncle Ron had to leave early because my Grandpa got put into the hospital yesterday. :( Praying he'll feel better soon.

Thank you Uncle Elias and Aunt Julee!
What a blessing to spend time with those we love!
We start heading back down south today. And as much as I have enjoyed carpet floors, paved roads, and pop tarts, I miss home and those whom our hearts have grown to love so much! Our cell phone alarm went off at 5:30 am this morning (not sure why?? :) ), and while I planned on sleeping in a bit, I wasn't really tired. And as I spent time with the Lord this morning, I prayed for our church there in Mexico. And how thankful I am to know God hears our praeyrs. How thankful I am that He cares for us!
LOVE that first picture!! That looks like so much fun! So glad you all had such a great visit!! God bless you.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you!! You deserved this little vacation so much and i pray for a safe travel back home! Thanks for the frequent updates I really really enjoyed them!

Love the pics! What a refreshing time for your family. I'm so glad you were able to go!
ReplyDeleteThis really made me smile. You will be so glad you have made these posts one day - what a great legacy for your children.
ReplyDeleteYou all got a pool to yourselves AGAIN?! That's too great. I love the bright smiles and it is so good of he Lord to provide.
We have stayed in apt. type of hotels as a family too and it makes a great difference having just a little more room.
Love the updates and are so very happy for your family. I just LOVE when God reaches down and gives swet seasons like this.
You are so sweet to keep us curious ones updated!!! Looks so fun. What a blessing. It is so funny to see you in the US with the backgrounds rather than Mexico!! :) Enjoy your time.
