In
November the kids began conspiring (it’s never good when that many kids
conspire against just 2). They wanted to
go to the beach again this year. They
were even willing for the trip (to Brazil) to replace Christmas gifts. Oh, how I have longed for my kids to see that
spending time together as a family is more valuable than things. Truth be told, they didn’t have to twist our
arms very hard; Jeff and I were just as ready for a vacation as they were.
Last
year we were able to vacation with Jeff’s parents in Florianopolis, Brazil on
the beach. It was such a wonderful
relaxing time that, frankly, we had to pry ourselves from the island once the
week was over. We decided to go back
again to the same spot. Unfortunately
Jeff’s parents were not able to make it this year.
God
blessed us with an incredible place to rent.
It was bigger and nicer than our current house (although I am not sure
that’s saying much since a step down would be camping). Three bedrooms, three baths, a spacious
living room and kitchen area and a pool.
Mornings we slept in, then swam till lunch in the pool, ate lunch and
headed for the beach. We’d get back for
dinner and chilling till late with games or movies. We had so much fun and again had to pry ourselves
from the island when the week was over.
Another highlight was getting to do this:
