I will give thanks to Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Thy works, and my soul knows it very well. Psalm 139:14

Just a Linkin....

Tonight I am linking to one of my FAVORITE blogs... 2 Kids, a Minivan, and a Mortgage.  She asked us to talk about our favorite summer outing.  This was such an easy one for me.  My favorite summer outing is the place I grew up and my kids favorite place in the world.  My parents resort, Cedar Rapids Lodge.  It truly is a paradise.  There is nowhere in the world I feel less stress.  Love it love it love it.  Thankfully we live just 30 minutes away so we truly go there almost every day in the summer.  Here are some of the things that fill our days...
 
Catching frogs...
 

 
Swimming in the pool...




 


Playing on the playground...
 



 
Playing on the beach, kayaking, looking for minnows...
 


Bonfires with Smores!







Fishing....




And finally, just taking in the beautiful scenery.  It doesn't get any better than this.  I am so thankful that my kids get to experience the place I grew to love as a child, and are now getting to the age where they are making so many of their own memories.  It's just awesome.
 


If you haven't yet...be sure to check out 2 Kids, a Minivan, and a Mortgage.  Such a cool family.  I have been so blessed by their faith throughout the past year and a half.  Their beautiful daughter, Lucy, who is 6 has gone through a terrible cancer and all that comes with it.  While they have had many trials, their faith in God does not waiver.  They know that His plan for sweet Lucy is bigger than they could ever imagine.  She's doing really well right now and it's truly made me look at my own kiddies with a different lens.  I try to never take anything for granted.  I thank the Krull family for that.  May God bless all of them in the months and years to come!
