We are positively giddy about getting to spend 10 whole days with these super dear friends and be there to celebrate her turning 30 years young. And then to have this sweet + lovely friend of ours join us for a few days and then get to road trip home together. This morning I am praying over all of it and checking off my list of road trip essentials: fun snacks, enough to feed a small army, a little stash of dollar store toys to hand out along the way, a ipod full of new to us recorded books, and stacks and stacks of books and movies and silly songs...Wish me luck! I am determined to make it as pleasant an experience as possible, because as Helen Keller said, " Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. "
In the meantime here is a peek at what we have been up to the last couple weeks. And a fall treasure hunt for you to go on, if you are feeling so inclined

Beautiful photos! The one of Annabelle in the apple orchard is just breathtaking :)
Have a wonderful trip/adventure to Cali with your 3 little pumpkins! (I'm sure lots of books, songs and other driving activities will be in order!) You can do it :)
Lovely photos! Looks like you are all having a fun-filled fall season. You are amazing to take on such a trip, but I know you will be a tremendous blessing. Will be praying for long naps and good time made on your travels. I'm sad to miss seeing you this weekend, but hopefully we'll connect when you're back.
Have so much fun! Soak in the company of those girls!
