The Family get-away

This past weekend, David's family all got together for a little 'family retreat' over Easter. We were not sure if we should go or not, since our little baby could come any time soon, but decided to go ahead and 'go for it'. As some of David's siblings do not live around here, we wanted to be able to spend time with everyone and for our kiddos to have good quality time with their cousins. We all met at a little retreat place and really enjoyed the time we had together. This post contains quite a few pictures, but I wanted to post them anyway so the family could see them too. Oh, and I did not take all of these pictures, so I can not take credit for them. =)

This weekend, there was plenty of...

... time to run free,


... sharing together from the Word,


... decorating easter eggs,


... grilling, (Shashlik... yum!)


... eating,



... outdoor fun,


... beautiful nature,



... lots of smiles,









... going for walks,



... relaxing, (yes, that's me in all of my 'hugeness'! Getting so ready for this little one to come!)


... ping-pong games,


... plenty of time to play with cousins,


... and to pick flowers,


...and an Easter egg hunt for the little ones.
