Dancing!

When you feel like dancing.........you just have to DANCE!

Time goes by quick!

OK I admit.  I have been lazy!I know it has been almost three weeks since my last blog post.  We have been having such a good time that I just have not made time to blog about our adventures.  Since my last post, we left Williamsburg after spending a week there learning about the American Revolution, the first settlement in America, and about the battle of Yorktown.  We returned to Wilmington to finish up the eviction of a non paying tenant.  After spending almost two months in Wilmington, the family was certainly ready to leave and go about our way on our journey.  We had a great time while we there and our hearts

were filled.  God has been so good to allow us to have such a soaking time in Wilmington visiting old friends and preparing us for the journey to come.  Strangely while we were in Wilmington, we started to miss Kansas City! This has been a foreign concept to us because we have known for several years that God has called us to live there but it always felt like a temporary place to be.  Recently however we have been missing our home and talking about what it is going to be like when we return.  These are all good things for our hearts and for my kids.  I want them to know that where God calls us to be is home.  I want them to have faith in the Lord to know that He desires what is best for us.

A quick rundown of what we have been doing:

We went to Williamsburg and visited Yorktown, Jamestow and colonial Williamsburg
We went to Richmond and visited our great friend Marni!
We went to Hampton Air and Space Museum and learned a lot of cool and interesting facts.
We visited the United States Marine Corps Museum, and lost our cat Izze :(
We went to Washington DC and had a fun day learning about our American history.
We visited Baltimore and went to the Maryland Science Center then visited with family.

Here are some pics of our adventures:

Jamestown, America's first permanent English Colony

Today we went to Jamestown VA. WOW! It was so much fun.  There was so much to see and to interact with.  I really think the kids were on sensory overload.  Not only did we get to learn about the history of Jamestown but we also got to go onto replica ships from the period.  The Susan Constant was the biggest ship of all.  It was hard to believe but over 100 people lived on the ship for 5 months while making the journey to America.  It totaled in size of sq. footage only a little bigger than our RV! We had a great time learning and listening and asking questions, and boy, did they have a lot of questions.  Which reminds me, does anyone know where I can find the off button to a 3 year old?  Mine seemed to not have one when she was born and is a verbal machine with no end.  Questions beget questions and most of the time getting an answer is not on her priority list.  My dad used to say I talked because I liked to hear myself! I think that I passed the trait on to her.  Amazing how things come back full circle.

Tomorrow were off to Yorktown and then Colonial Williamsburg.  I am really looking forward though most of all to the all you can eat seafood buffet at Captain Georges, YUM!
