Mike and I took all the kids on a camping trip to Big Bend this weekend. We had a blast while physically exerting ourselves and seeing God's beautiful creation. There are some pics attached that show the breathtaking scenery as well as one of God's very friendly creatures.
The scenic view is from the top of Emory Peak which is a 9 mile roundtrip hike. It is well worth it, but not for little ones. Luckily, one of our frinds stayed behind with our three little ones so both Mike and I could go up with Stasia and Dasha.
Here is our friendly skunk. She decided to join the adult converstation after we got all the kids down.
I would have pet her, if I didn't think she would
spray me. ; )
Stasia slightly sprained her ankle and Dasha hurt her knee,
so Bryan, Eli, and Alaizha did
a smaller hike with me right before we left.
Thanks also for praying about our move stuff. We are still progressing with Mike's plans to leave for Arkansas on 7 Dec. We are leaving our house situation to God to see which one comes first, a buyer or a renter. We are open either way. God has not left us yet, nor will He leave us now. I am confident of that!

Justin and I would have liked to make it out to Big Bend. Glad you all had a good time and that the girls were champion hikers!
Beeeautiful!
You are beautiful, Melissa and it looks like you had a great time! That skunk picture was scary. It's a good thing I wasn't with you, or I would have made him spray us all for sure!
Love,
