Coronado 2013

After sending all our stuff on a moving truck and loading the car down, we set out for a week long fun filled trip to Coronado. We spent the first night at the Hotel del Coronado, enjoyed a lovely walk through downtown to a very tasty dinner.


We woke early (compliments of all the kiddos) the next morning and enjoyed a leisurely breakfast with a beautiful view of the ocean.


After we headed to our church for one...last...church service with Harbor Church, and then to the rental house at:

 

That's when the real fun began because all 6 of these little kiddos under the age of 6 were together and allowed to roam wild and free!


 

 Or at least roam with the assistance of some very loving hands...

And there was lots of love that week. The kids loved being together, and of course, they loved being read to...

...and pulled in the wagon...

The loved playing at the park...

...until they couldn't play anymore...


 ...and then we played some more!!



...or at least watching others play wiffle ball...

...

 It was great having Aunt's and Unlce's around to try to keep up the energy of this one...

And it is a blessing to celebrate the birthdays of this one...

and this lovely little lady...

 And somewhere in the there was beach time, but I hung back with Rachel Lee who had a cast on her foot and was not able to enjoy the sand or beach. She and I had a great week together resting and playing together after a very active packing/moving experience. I think her fractured foot was God' way of slowing her and I down because He knew we needed some relax time.  But we did make it for a sunset walk one evening and it was simply beautiful!!

Best of all, it was great having everyone together for a week just enjoying the gift that family is. God has given us family as a support in our life, and no one sees our highs and lows, our ins and out, our joys and pains more than family. It is a blessing to see the Murry crew, and I know that in the near future we will get to have another fun filled time together (especially since it is mid-October and Christmas is only around the corner!!)
