"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets you in the way of what others think..."

My photo
if i could use one word to describe my life SERENDIPITY seems to fit the space... i stumbled upon my husband during a time i shouldn't have and my story goes on from there... constantly falling or stumbling upon remarkable gifts and people who bring fortune to our lives... when we fall we learn and strive toward the next step.

monday...a moment and memories~

last week a heat wave
hit us
the river was calling
and so was my husband

thursday~

him: im taking friday off
me: you are
him: we're goin campin
me: perfect

NOW
 my husband isn't one to use his vacation days
he likes to store them up
for later
well sometimes later never comes
the year ends
and he loses his time off

so this was a sweet surprise

by noon we were on the road
scorching
in our truck
this little baby
has no AC

water was calling
so a stop was in need


a moment to stretch those wee little legs


inhale the fresh air


feel the pristine water


and admire the beautiful sight

now time never stops ticking
so away we had to go

though i was slowly trailing behind
not quite ready to let this place go

destination made
remember all that water
someone stood in amazement

where did it all go


now usually the first thing to do
is make our little home

but with the heat of the day
sharing its warmth

there was no questions asked
but to get to the river


we were DELIGHTED to see
the pool we had made
still patiently sitting
waiting our return
{need just a tad bit of sprucing...let me just say...
it is not so easy moving such rocks..oh the things you will do for wee little ones}


a dip was done
mama...i'm just testing the water


two boys rushed off
sharing some time


swept away we all seem to get

endless is time


then there is l♥ve always to be found


before we know it 
day starts slowy sinking away


the fire becomes a blaze


and two are quietly tucked away
night time has arrived
lulled to sleep are they


our adventures will continue
further more tomorrow

Your hubby sounds much like me. I've lost so much vacation and sick time in the past that I am determined not to let it happen again. What a lovely site for camping. It's absolutely marvelous to get away like that.

Gorgeous pics! My hubby and son went camping a couple of weeks ago (my idea of roughing it is staying at a hotel without room service, so I just had a nice 3 days to myself) and my son brought me a heart shaped rock home. I thought of you when I saw it. I've never seen one in person, only on your blogs, now I have my very own and it's sitting on our Seasonal altar for Lammas as a represetation of our thankfulness for the love we share. <3
