Two weeks ago, my family + I spent a week in Arkansas visiting family! It was a long trip, packed with lots of wonderful memories! We had a blessed time together, made new friends, and I could see God working in lives.
Here are some highlights from the trip:

> stopping at McDonalds for supper + chicken sandwiches + fries (!!)
> being able to watch movies or listen to stories with our lap top
> singing in the truck

While the trip was fun and we had a good time with family, I am glad to be home!! :)
"It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High. To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night. For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands." Psalm 92: 1, 2, & 4
I loved this! All of the in the vehicle games, food, reading, and singing sounds so fun. Those are some great ideas we'll have to try in the future when we travel. :) A music video!!... that sounds like a blast! :D Glad you had a great time with your family and friends! And awe, YOU are so sweet, it was so fun meeting!! Loved the family pictures of your aunt and uncle's family and the adorable pictures of the twins you got. :)
