Tying Heartstrings



One of the ways we've endeavoured to tie strings to our children's hearts is to ensure we take a family vacation each year.  There's just something about getting away from some of the routine of everyday life, spending time together without the constant demands of our farm, etc.  We love spending time together, whether working or playing.

We arrived home yesterday from our most recent holiday, it was definitely a time of refreshing.  During the many hours we spent driving, we listened to the Bible on cd, as well as numerous encouraging sermons and lectures. It's good to be challenged afresh by the Word.

Below are some photos of our recent trip.  I'd only planned on posting a few, but these are all so sweet that I just couldn't resist putting them all up.  Happy browsing!
