Blessed Time with Wonderful Friends!

While on our spring vacation,

we were SO blessed to spend a few days with our awesome friends in California!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

When we first arrived, we jumped right in to playing volleyball!

(The first three photos are taken that first evening as it was getting dusk.)

 The T. family has 8 kids.

So combined, there were 16 kids playing together! : -)

 We both have an "older set" of kids,

and a "younger set" of kids.

So, there were always lots of helping hands with the little ones.

Lots of fun things to do outside! 

 

 They took their volleyball very seriously! ;-)

 Not really!

Kyle the horsie!

Fresh oranges!

Yum!

 

 The dads and oldest sons battled it out on the volleyball court during a two-day,
five-game challenge!

Old age and treachery won in the end! ;-)

3 to 2!!!!

 

 

 

  We played lots of fun games inside.

 Musical chairs with live music by Mr. T.!!!

 And we enjoyed lots of lawn games.

 

 The girls!

  The boys! 

 Our dear sweet friends . . .

 We were super blessed to be treated to a trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium!

 Thank you, thank you dear friends for this wonderfully blessed time with you!!!!
