The Journey . . . Installment #2 - Focus on the Family



After skiing at Loveland, we returned to Colorado Springs to stay with my sister-in-law, Bree, and our sweet cousin, Anna-Jane.

We had many adventures together, such as . . .

- Shopping at Wal Mart together

- Walking to the park and letting the children play while Bree gave me some photography pointers. Anna Jane walked the entire way there! Quite an accomplishment for a new walker!

- Heading to Focus on the Family headquarters where we shopped at the bookstore and took the kids to their HUGE play area. There were so many things for them to do and all of them really enjoyed it! It didn't cross my mind how incredibly "germy" the play area must have been! All of the kids that played in the ropes/slides/plastic bubbles ended up with a horrible virus that has lasted more than a week in some of them! Not very family-friendly!! I honestly can't complain, though. The kids had a wonderful time and we haven't been sick once since Abigail Grace was born. Seven months is a great record - especially with four kids 7 and under!

- Lots of fun just playing together/cooking together and enjoying being in the same state for a while! We don't really get to see each other outside of Christmas each year, so it was a great blessing! Thanks, Bree :)

What a fun place... sorry about the germs.. germs are such a bummer. Looks like the kiddos were having a blast. Mary Elizabeth has the most striking blue eyes... and love the one of all three together. Priceless. Thanks for sharing.
