But wow it's long days for him - these weeks are so much easier for me now that our kids have some years under their belts. They love (and I mean LOVE) their programming and when they aren't in structured stuff we hit the pool.
I've also tried to stick too a bit of regular routine and get some nice quiet book/reading time in the early afternoon before we change into swim suits. ahhhh, so much peace in a quiet room with everyone reading.
End of last week we had a day off and went to sticky falls. Water falls that you can climb???
The rock is porous limestone which creates great traction for bare feet. You can literally climb the falls - up and down - and your feet will not slip!
The weather was hot, the water was cool, and we had picnic supplies in tow. Nice times for everyone.
Then it was back to the airport.
The kids all weighed their own carry-on (Julianna, my pack rat, carries a bag that is twice as heavy as mine - ha!). Then we weighed Matt's bag. OH MY GOODNESS! We have a strong Daddy! [He tends to end up with a lot of the electronics -]
With her elephant pants and Chacos I think Lydia looks like the 9 year old version of a European backpacker!
Delayed flight? FaceTime opportunity.
Now we are hitting the final day of our second event and the stomach flu is raging through our entire community. Isaac was up in the night throwing up and I've pulled all the kids out of programming. Julianna and Lydia are playing cards with a friend and the boys are watching a show. But Luke is starting to look a little green. oh dear, I need a LOT of grace to navigate puke in a hotel room.
We have a 6 hour drive tomorrow on roads that will make the most iron-lined stomach feel queasy. We could really use some down time. We are so looking forward to having our Daddy back. God loves us and has good in store. Oh Jesus. we need you

Oh, so sorry to hear the stomach flu has moved into your group. That will be a long ride to the beach, but vacation ahead! We love you all!
Yikes! Your catching-as in, receiving something thrown from someone else- up-as opposite of down where stomach things belong- is a very descriptive title for this post. ☹️🙃
The waterfall looks like a great time! Two of my favorites - water and rocks.
Hope u all are better now so you can enjoy your favorites!
nothing better than a little "wheels on the bus go round and round" to speed the trip along. Best of wishes for a speedy trip south and no kids going "urp urp urp" as you go.
love
Dad
Oh No! I hope you all are feeling better! The rocks/falls look like tons of fun!
