And I pray that they come back again. All in one piece. {Happy}. And a bit more “cultured”.
But I also pray that after their “big city” experience they’ll still appreciate the small town. Their {home}.
And I pray that their vacation will make them want to seek more. Learn more. {Experience} more.

Oh my goodness, you have beautiful children! I’m sure they’ll be fine. It sounds like you get some kid-free time! Take advantage and have fun while they’re gone.

My daughter is still home with us, and from the drive home from the airport I can tell it’s going to be a LONG week for her! She talked our ears off!

How cute! So, ‘kids on vacation’ translates to ‘MOMMY TIME’! Lol.
Enjoy that!

Love these pictures!! I bet they are having a blast! You are one brave and wonderful mama to let them go!
It’s been fun “meeting” you! Your blog has made me smile! And laugh! And really, really hungry (those burger pictures are mouthwatering!) : )

So cute!! I love it that you’re letting them go!! I hope to be the type of mom that doesn’t tie my children down by my fears. I want to be brave enough to build them up as much as I can & then allow them to explore life without me as well. They’ll have a great time!!

Thanks! I got a lot of grief from some moms… but thankfully I’ve learned to do what I think is best for my kids. And letting them travel and experience new places is definitely what is best for them right now! You will be brave enough.
