Thankful Thursday- August 23

As I am enjoying vacation, I am thankful for many things....

The absolute beauty of the beach at dusk


and animals at the zoo


for my parents for renting such a nice place for us to stay


that family was able to come down and spend some time with us on Wednesday



My kids who never fail to make me smile


Kiddo #3 made us an awesome PowerPoint presentation animating the Noah's Ark story and he also won his little sister four stuffed animals in the arcade.  The pic below shows two of them.  I was so proud of him for thinking of her like that.


my hubby who is back home working very hard and whom we miss very much,

and of course, the Lord, through Whom all things are possible (I bought this plaque in the Christmas store on the boardwalk)


Linking up today with Red Oak Lane, Raising Mighty Arrows, NOBH and A Thankful Woman's Book of Blessings

Family & vacation together? You are so blessed, Sister. I love the pic of you and your cousin. I miss mine more than I have words for. Mama always referred to her as "your partner in crime". Nothing like a good cousin. :)

Beautiful beach. I love the Snowy Owl. They are breathtaking. Did you have another post up? I am so confused. I thought I posted on your Thankful Thursday. I am losing it I guess. :) So glad you are able to spend this wonderful family time together.
