Monday Gratitude and Camping

It's been a long time since I have written. A lot has happened, a lot of good, a lot of busy, a lot of sadness too.

First the Euchristeo continues...
#147...a safely returned wallet (Eric's) sent through the mail by a kind lady
who found it left on a beach near the campground we were staying at.
#148...Sweet peas in June
$149...mild, cool weather
#150...soccer being finished
#151...creative kids who make thoughtful gifts for each other
#152...white clouds in the blue sky
#153...a husband safely home from a trip
#154...camping together in one of the most beautiful spots in California
#155...watching the kids work together to wash up the dishes
#156...beautiful coastline
#157...a bagillion wildflowers on our treks
#158...watching the kids identify lots of the flowers found during our camping trip
#159...a husband who does things with the kids I would NEVER do, kids scaling tall
rocks that drop off into the ocean, even the twinsies! Carolina was a monkey
#160...for Sunset Magazine that shared this amazing camping experience, inspiring us
to reserve our spot of paradise 6 months ago
#161...my dear husband who kept us from floating away in the downpour of rain during
our last night of camping! Craziness....
#162...coming home to our own snug house and soft beds!
