The day dawned bright and early , the promise of an adventure on the horizon .The kids roused themselves from sleep excited for what lie ahead. Everyone cooperated fully and the car was loaded with the various items needed for a long day of fun at Silverwood Theme park. We left the house at 8am for the 3 hour drive to the land of awesomeness . We sang songs and held hands, we giggled and laughed as the excitement grew more intense. We picked up the older boys at Post Falls and quickly incorporated them into our pleasant outing. We arrived at the park in high spirits and made our way to the front gate fully enjoying each other, smiling and happy waving at people as we walked by. I know everyone was saying, what a pleasant family, how can we be just like them! Once inside, we had a great time together, riding rides, swimming, and playing games. The children were all so cheerful and sweet, each thinking of the other above himself, helpful and gentle in all their actions. I was so proud of the way they got along together. We had a simply marvelous time!
At least that is how it was supposed to be.........
The truth is a much harder pill to swallow. I will not go into details on this post, as I don't really want to be a whiner, however I will say, it did not go as well as I thought or even wished it would have. We did manage to have fun for the most part, but we need some work as a family on how to get along a little better or we will never go on vacation together, ever.
Like a friend of mine said, today is a new day, with no mistakes in it, so there is hope. That is a very very good thing to know.

You sound soooo busy all the time!!, I admire you getting anything done, I am having sleeping to the point it is driving me crazy, it is a struggle everynight. I know if I could ONLY get 6 or 7 good hours of rem sleep m life would be different and I could have the ambition to get my art pro photoged on a disc to get good quality prints made so Rachel and I could sell them. I would like to get one ready to mail to you for Christmas but it seems I get ZIP done because I can't get sleep. You stay strong and have those kids do the work for you, aren't they almost all teenagers and preteens except Joshua? Anyway you go girl, so happy to hear you praise Jesus and God even if I have always knew you were a christian, this is first time I have heard you discuss it, I thought it was wonderful, so glad we'll all be together someday in heaven. Love ya, mom patty
