Preparing for new AdventureZ

start:

Spring is in the air and as we relax and recover from recent adventurez
we look forward to the next leg of our "travel season"

We love our adventurez
We love getting out on the road to explore the world around us
We love getting in touch with nature and visiting friends, family, and museums.

Our last week was full of fun adventure 
with camping and swimming and much much more

We prepare to hit the road for a retreat for mom at RRR in Atlanta 
We plan adventurez for all along the way

But this weekend was a time for REST
it was a time to relax and replenish (and do laundry)
Quiet, lazy family time is what takes place between our wild adventurez
We read, watch movies (I mentioned laundry - right?)

We REST

For tomorrow - we are off on another adventure 
to see the world and live life to the fullest!

Hope to see you in Atlanta!

stop

Movies, cuddles, writing, rest . . . 

and LAUNDRY

Scenes from a weekend - a whirlwind of an adventure

We began our long weekend adventure with a trip up to Disney World - Fort Wilderness Campground is a wonderful place for families to relax and enjoy nature together - and have a bit of Disney fun too! 

We were fortunate enough to be included in a group trip with my sweet nephew and his scout group, so we got to catch up with family as well as meet their friends. 

We enjoyed swimming and exploring the Disney resort grounds as well as sitting around the camp fire at night. You can't go wrong with smores. Our homeschool friend Rowyn joined us for the Spring Break adventure. Next stop - LegoLand!

Little geography lesson . . . . . Legoland FL is awesome! 

Homeschool day discounts are even better - check it out here. 

Then we stormed Tampa Bay for a little extra science fun on Tues at MOSI (science center)
where we explored the new NASA exhibit - the kids checked out what life is like on the International space station and even completed tasks just like an astronaut.

We also headed to spend a few hours at the Florida Aquarium (we love) 

Looks like we must have spent a fortune huh? Well, don't you know me at all? That's just not the way we roll. Find out exactly what I spent on our extra long (5 day) Spring Break weekend of fun on Thursday when I post for Frugal Family. Come and link up your own frugal ideas for travel, homeschool, raising kids, food and anything the family can benefit from and save money!

Enjoy your week - I'm resting up now in between AdventureZ!

Bigger Picture Moments - Rest . . .

"And on His name shall the nations rest their hopes." Matt. 12:21

So thankful I was able to rest my weary soul this week - special time spent with my sister 

and friends - in this very picturesque resting spot was just what the Dr. ordered. 

I will make it a point to rest in Him more often in such lovely places!
