Vacation to Remember

Here are a few highlights that I don't want to forget...

•  Good 12 hour car ride thanks to dvds, plenty of pacis, snacks, new books to read and Brad's Journey cd.
  
• Yummy Mexican food!
• Time with Terri & Tim (Brad's sis & bil) LOVE you guys!
• Walking on the RiverWalk at night in the cool Spring weather
• Riding the Log ride with Luke & Shawn, and getting soaked! 
• Riding the "Great White" with Brad, screaming the whole time, embarrassing him.  hehe.
• Having Grace need one last hug, afraid to let mommy go on this "scary" ride 
• Watching Luke ride the Atlantis water ride with his best bud/cousin Shawn 5 times in a row!  (yay---no lines!)
• Watching Grace laugh out loud at the Sea Lion show and her amazement when Shamu waved to us.
• Seeing Moriah just take it all in with her laid-back, "whatever" personality.
• Seeing Leah's beautiful face as she walked down the aisle.... laughter + tears = priceless moment of happiness.  The sweetest wedding (& the shortest) I've been to in a long time.
• Brad's time away from working and getting time with his best friend and mentor, Dale.
  
• How easy it is for my kids to make friends....swimming at the hotel pool, they made fast friends with the kids there and started a game of Marco Polo....(poor unsocialized homeschooled kids)  (that was sarcasm)
• Sitting in the hot tub watching my kids and thanking God for them.
• Quality time with my family, relaxed and carefree.... thanks to a sweet little tax refund.
