WOWZERS we've been busy!
We started out last week right when The Captain got home, BACK on an airplane! It was Bakers FIRST AIRPLANE RIDE!!
The Captain REALLY wanted to fly her on her first flight BUT it was not meant to be.
The 3 of us headed from MCI to DFW..
The girls stayed with my parents and the boys stayed with MY DEAR BRAVE FRIEND!
We flew down to pick up and drive back....
OUR NEW SECOND HOME!
We feel blessed beyond measure to be able to have this RV.
We are a family who LOVES TO TRAVEL!!!
The Captain and I both grew up traveling ALL OVER and we want the same life experiences for our kiddos!
It is getting more and more difficult for us to "get around" with 7 kids. We have talked, prayed and mulled over this decision for a LONG TIME and are thrilled that God has allowed us to have this experience.
We got there on THE COLDEST DAY IN TEXAS HISTORY!
We stayed the night there in our new RV and drove back the next morning!
2 Days later, we took our TRIAL RUN first trip to see THE DUGGARS!!
Who were doing a benefit for The Lawrence Crisis Pregnancy Center.
They made NO MONEY off of their appearance and paid their own way to Kansas.
The kids were SO EXCITED!
Our Captain can DRIVE ANYTHING!
Airplane, Tractor, Harley and now our own CLARK GRISWOLD at the RV WHEEL!
Girls in their bunks!
We drove a couple hours, I fixed lunch on the way and the time FINALLY CAME!
It was VERY SURREAL to actually get to meet and chat with the entire Duggar Family. We bought tickets for the smaller "meet and greet" of about 100 people.
SO WORTH IT!
Then we joined 700 others to hear them speak further and hear the kids, sing and play their instruments! AWESOMENESS!
It was truly LIFE CHANGING for The Captain and I.
We stayed up late into the night chatting about what a wonderful Christ filled family we experienced and how we would like to strive to be more like them.
They were even more precious, kind and gracious in person than they are on TV. We are SO THANKFUL for the opportunity we had to meet this incredible family! They gave GREAT advice on parenting and marraige.
One of the things Michelle said that REALLY stuck out in my head was...
"We must PRAISE our children TEN TIMES MORE that we correct them."
WOW! That was DEEP! I have REALLY been trying to do this since we returned home.
Now, WHO KNOWS, we may just be BRINGING OUR SECOND HOME TO MEET YOU!!
Any IDEAS FOR A NAME FOR OUR NEW RIG???
