Hanging out

We just finished an extended visit with Nelson's family down in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.  I love that place.  Nothing but relaxation, and fun on the beach.  Throw in lots of family time too, and it made for a fabulous week.

Nelson's sister lives in Africa with her family, spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ to those on the islands of Lake Victoria.  Our visits with them are precious, as we only get to see them every three to five years.  Even though the cousins are a variety of ages, they didn't let that hinder their ability to hang out together.

Last night, we were able to share our home with them, and sit for a spell while having a nice meal.  The kids of course, zip lined, and in between everyone (almost everyone) weeded a large patch of our backyard- how awesome is that?  "Many hands make light work"!

I'm so grateful for the two independent visits, each unique and fun in their own way.  Our home has been made sweeter with the visit of family.
