We got into town around 4 P.M., but then needed to pick up some KFC, and some groceries.  We met Nan at the vacation house just after the taxi had dropped her off there. 

We were T.I.R.E.D., but excited to see our new digs.  The home exceeded our expectations. 

Kelly had her own bed and bath on the first floor. 

The rest of us had rooms upstairs.  And the six kids shared a hall bath.

The girls had a double bunk room (with a pack-n-play moved in later for Katriel).

Nan had her own bed and bath.

The boys had a small room of their own.

We explored the house a bit.  It was so clean.  The beds, we learned later, were amazingly comfortable.  

Tried out the game area.

And assessed the lanai. 

We ate our KFC and then John and the kids took a swim.  It was only about 74 degrees by then, but they wanted to wash all those states off themselves. 

We had a very loud visitor.

And we were in bed by 8:30 P.M.

Jeremiah 31:25 For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish.

I must share that at this point of the vacation I was just in awe that we were THERE.  I had looked forward to and planned for this vacation for over 15 months.  To actually be in a place of playfulness and rest with my beloved family was just awesome to me.  I just repeatedly thanked God for His provision.
