We had such a fun day and evening on Saturday! We had a day of celebration...
Celebrating Brigg's 8th birthday and Bode's 4th birthday and celebrating a final weekend together as a family before Chris, Brenda and Bode move to Florida in a week. Not that we won't ever be able to hang out together with all of us again by any means, but not while we're all living here in Iowa. Our gatherings will be fewer and farther between as well as most often will be centered around a holiday or event or at times during a vacation when we hopefully can all get down to Florida at the same time. We are all hoping for the best in their new venture, but selfishly wish they were staying here in Iowa.
There was around 20ish people in our group at the hotel and as usual, we are pretty good at taking over a hotel when a big group of us are there. It was a lot of fun and we all pretty much took over the pool area earlier in the day and then the lobby for the evening. The kids had a blast and so did the adults!

I refused to really allow myself to realize the fact of the future of our gatherings with all the grandkids! Life holds many unknowns and to actually think they won't be as close as we'd like is pretty tough to swallow!! : ( My hopes and prayers are for them to be happy and to know, family is important and IF they ever choose to move back our way.... many will be welcoming them with open arms. God bless, keep, and protect them in their new venture... miss them already!! :( Sad but optomistic that good will come from this.
Great picture.
Happy Birthday Boys!
