Adventures

Jun 2nd, 2008 by angie | 5

Saturday found us spending the afternoon surrounded by the beauty of God’s creation. It was my first time back in the TRUCK off-roading, and it was wonderful.

We followed some trails in the National Forest,

met some hardcore off-roaders who spoke a language with Bri that left me dumbfounded,

drove through the river,

threw rocks and waded in the freezing water,

held on for dear life (well, at least Audrey and I did),

got quite muddy (Bri managed to spray mud through the sunroof),

enjoyed hanging out with friends,

and saw Smokey the Bear.

Best of all, I was able to soak it all in and watch the faces of my children as they lived life. Now that’s beauty!

I know I say it a lot, but I love living here! I’ll never be convinced that there’s a better place on earth. I am breathing thanks for a sweet time with my family… every day is a day to share and delight in them and in all that God has given us.

You can enjoy all our pics in the gallery, just don’t get jealous.

    What fun! There is nothing better than a day spent outside in God’s creation and especially seeing out kiddos enjoy it’s wonder and mystery! God bless! Rochelle
