Family Vacation!

So, to follow up this post, here is what we were able to do instead of a whole-family beach vacation! We took a weekend and went up to the Harrisonburg area. Our sweet friends were gracious enough to let us stay in their home (even though they weren't there!) and enjoy time swimming in their pool and enjoying a few fun things around the area, as well as visiting with friends and family. It was a great and fun time, and the kids were thrilled to have their sister along with them!

We left on July 11, which was free Chick-Fil-A day and also 7-11 day. We grabbed our cow shirts and went by Chick-Fil-A on our way out for some free chicken for lunch on the way there. Then, a few minutes from our friends house is a 7-11, so we surprised the kids with a stop there for free Slurpees! (Kathryn thought we were going to miss 7-11 day and was despairing that she had to wait a whole year before getting a Slurpee-I think she thinks they are only available on 7-11 day! Don't tell her otherwise...!)

This was Waverly's set up for sleeping. Can you find her? 

One of our activities was going to the Children's Museum. Kathryn loved being a weather girl! She was also so cute, pushing Waverly around and showing her things there. 

I was so happy that my sweet friend Brooke and her kids could meet us there to play! We've been friends for over 20 years! (Wow, that makes me feel old!!)

The kids.

Our family! 

Another van selfie. We don't travel lightly.  :)

We are so thankful to have had the perfect set-up for our trip. The house we stayed at was all one level and open so we could all be together, and the pool had a screened porch right off of it so we could have Waverly there when she wasn't swimming with us (I don't have any pics of her swimming!). We were blessed to worship at the church we used to go to and see family and friends. The kids had a great time and Waverly did really well! She had several seizures where she stopped breathing, but we expected that since we were doing a lot of activities with her, which she isn't used to. But she did better than I would have thought, so I am so thankful for that!
