We surprised the kids with a trip to visit with their cousins at Great Wolf Lodge this past week. Well ok - the trip to Great Wolf was part of their Christmas gift and they did know about it ... but they didn't know about their cousins meeting us there. We met halfway at the Sandusky location and despite a bit of winter weather, the travel was uneventful. The kids were so shocked to see their cousins that they were literally speechless. Like Angel stood there dumbfounded. It was hysterical. But after that, they got to business having FUN together. Oh it was an amazing three days! These kiddos adore each other and it just shines through them.
When we had to say goodbye yesterday, I think I almost saw some tears. It will most likely (most definitely) be the last time we see them before they head to Singapore with mom & dad to start a new church. And because of that, I'm even more glad we were able to make this mini-vacation successful ... the kids just love each other and always have so much stinkin' fun together. I am so excited for them to be starting this new journey, but selfishly a little sad that the kids won't be getting together for several years. I'm thrilled we have some pictures to frame around the house ... they will serve as tangible reminders of the gift of family!
