It was a crazy, chaotic, "busy"time, and yet, it was very peaceful and rest for some weary souls. It is hard to describe the compatibility that all of our children share. We spent a week in a very big house, with all those kids. There was little to no arguing, and we had fun watching the kiddos pair/group up to play and have fun together. The older kids pitched in to help with cooking, cleanup and doing the mounds of laundry throughout the week. The grownups were even able to sneak away for an evening out because of the kindness of the "college"grad. and the teenagers. We shared some fabulous meals and lots of blessed fellowship.
Father God,You blessed our weary hearts,minds and souls! We are so grateful for this time of fellowship, time of refreshment, and time of reflection. We were filled with wonder at all your hands have made. We rested in the beauty of your creation and the magnificence of your beaches and mighty oceans. We stand in awe of your GLORY!
The View Outside From the Beach House
This is what the kids spent most of the week doing!
Nolan played his guitar for us from time to time!The Mom's occassionally were able to spend some time on the beach, but...
We spent a great deal of time in one specific room...trying to keep this crew fed...
We were able to see the Blue Angels taking their test flights. It was fun and oh so very exciting for certain little boys in our group!
This was the back of our very large beach house that was perfect for our very large crowd!
Our clan with three of their cousins...
