Quick Getaway

Last weekend we took off to the desert.  My sister-in-law said it best, my soul needed it.  We decided against the camp site and tent version and hit up a hotel with an indoor pool.  It was exactly what our family needed. 
A completely 100% family weekend. 
No distractions, no friends, no cousins, nothing.  
Our kids laughed and played and grew stronger friendships. 
We played and learned more about each other. 
We hiked and climbed and played in the sand.  
We conquered fears-TOGETHER. 

We got to teach our kids to use a slingshot and in the 36 hours we were there we even counted 27 state licence plates. (and one from Canada)
We got to take our kids to Church in the red rock hills of Moab.
We got to watch our beautiful Desert Babies run and run.

Michael and I got to discover Arches National Park again through the eyes of our toddlers who had never been there.  We got to feel the excitement and joy at seeing God's creations for the first time.








It was perfect.
