And as it always does, the day of heading home arrived.
We should have been washing linens and packing.
But we opted to begin our Sabbath Day restoring our souls one last time before heading back to the pace of normal life.
And of course I tried to capture it all.
Do our kids argue?
Yes.
Do they fight?
Of course.
Do they whine, irritate each other and want to go in five different directions all at the same time?
Yes, are there siblings that don't, and I need clones to keep up.
But there is something about our time together, just our "little family" as they call it, unplugged from TV, social media (beyond me popping up a few photos for Mama to see what her grand babies are up to) and video games that creates a "magic bubble" of sibling goodwill.
During these times (and our yearly Mother's/Father's Day camping trips) our kids seem to disagree a little less, find ways to entertain each other, and fall back into that way of giggling that they enjoyed as wee ones.
We love it so much that it makes us wonder if our family could expand to include another...
Finally it was time to head back to the house to get ready to go. The spicy one tried to convince us that her feet were stuck and we'd just have to leave her there. But one of our family mottos is that we never leave a man behind...
Until next Spring Break Holden...
