Whistler!


Bryan and I had the blessing of going away for two nights this weekend. A dear family in our church offered to watch the whole gang (and they had a WONDERFUL time!). It was the first time we had been away on our own for almost 2 years...and boy was it nice and VERY quiet!:) It's amazing how you just get used to the constant commotion and activity that having six kids brings!

The best I can do for describing Whistler to those who have not been is to compare it to Tahoe...times two or maybe three!:) I guess, if you haven't been to Tahoe either, that wasn't too helpful!:) Sorry! We could only imagine just how amazing it must have been during the winter Olympics!!!

We were so thankful for the beautiful weather on Friday! We had fun mini-golfing at a course made of all real grass and we had a beautiful afternoon walking around Lost Lake and exploring "Whistler Village".
One of the coolest things we saw was what they did to some of the ski courses. During the summer, they turn them into obstacle courses/trails for mountain bikers! The bikers take themselves and their bikes up the ski lift and then ride down! It was SO NEAT! And there was no specific age demographic. We saw younger guys and gals and we saw older couples (50+!) and groups of older guys all making their way down the mountain! It looked like so much fun!
While we enjoyed our time away immensely, it felt good to come home, too. We are so very thankful for the life God has given us, the family He has blessed us with and our church family. It made coming home just as sweet as going...and that is a gift that keeps our hearts overflowing with praise!

We're so thankful you were able to get away, even if only for two days. It's essential to enjoy some R&R in the midst of the multiple demands of ministry; and to enjoy such beautiful surroundings is an added blessing! Mom & I have appreciated our "alone" time in the past, and we're so pleased it all worked out for the two of you to the glory of God!

I'm so glad you two were able to sneak away for some "together time"! What wonderful friends, who blessed you with such an awesome gift! :)
Wow! Beautiful pictures---especially that last one! I am so happy for you and Bryan that you were able to get away to a great place like that, and have some "alone time"!
