There is SO much joy that can be found through the eyes of little ones...just try it sometime. Every TINY, LITTLE thing can become the biggest source of excitement and happiness for them. And when we have the time to slow down and partake in it with them, it's pretty great! And for our family, Cracker Barrel means we are not in a hurry to be somewhere. We can slow down, take our time, enjoy our food, let them play, and add road trip memories to the mix! This journey led us to the mountains with The Currie families for the Fourth of July....Blue Ridge here we come!
No mountain road trip is complete if there's not a Cracker Barrel stop involved...and looks like Ashton Kate couldn't agree more! =)
We say it every time, but it's so nice to not have to waste food and know that they will eat just about every bite on their plates and probably a good bit of ours too here! =)
Precious time with his littlest! Off work and on the road with the family...
The gift shop: the girls favorite! The baby dolls and all the accessories never disappoint! We have to drag them out every.single.time!
Nothing extravagant, but some good quality family play time with daddy, Gdad, and cousins!
The highlight of the weekend for her was probably the screened in porch that gave her access to come and go as she pleased! Freedom...the girl loves it!
Just on a picnic with the babies...and their mommies! =)
Happy 4th of July sweet loves!
Thankful for time to slow down as a family and enjoy one another! Could not be more thankful for this crazy crew! {Especially when daddy is along to help out!}
Had big plans to go blueberry picking...oops misread the times so just enjoyed the gift shop instead!
Downtown Blue Ridge...hunting for somewhere to eat!
Hard to fathom life before these three girls were entrusted into our care...=)
And this little rascal is the perfect addition to the family and she keeps us on our toes, but sure does provide unlimited entertainment for days...
We filled up Nana and GDad's lap rather quickly...and one day these five will get a glimpse of just how deeply loved they are! The sacrifices for these five are already beyond the ability to count! =)
Just a little S'mores treat on the back porch!
some pretty excited little girls building their perfect s'more...a few chocolate chips may or may not have been eaten in the making of them...
Time for the taste test! Passed with flying colors!
What a wonderful time we had together with family! So, so grateful for the precious gifts all five of these children are to all of us! Thankful to be on this parenting journey together and to have the encouragement, love, and support from grandparents as we try to muster up enough strength and grace to keep fighting this race we're on...we couldn't do it alone!
