I expected to be tired on Saturday. I didn't anticipate that I'd be tired again on Sunday. Laundry, putting stuff away. . . I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I like Monday mornings. (gasp!) I wake up ready to go and to get things done. I have plenty to do tomorrow. We'll see if the kids cooperate. :)
That said, boy did we have an amazing week! We are all positive that we want to return to the Conference Grounds again next year. The kids loved the activities. We loved spending time together as a family. We enjoyed reconnecting with amazing friends. I bless God that He brought Tricia and I together at the Grounds 20 years ago and we have a friendship that has stood the test of time. I even enjoyed getting woken up at 6:00 every morning by my darling Penny. Together, we'd walk, talk and shower together. It was an hour and a half of time with each other watching a campground come to life. I rarely get such time with her. I adore her. As I think back. . . I was able to spend one-on-one time with every child this week. Because we weren't camping with friends, Gary and I spent time together every night talking, playing cards, laughing and dreaming together. The theme of the Grounds is "Come apart and rest awhile".
Swimming, ice cream, walks, bike rides, great breakfasts, pool, beach, trailer, campfires, musical buckets, nursery, Bible School, playground, puzzles, visitors, friends. . .it was a great vacation. It was good for our family. We are all better for it.
