We leave the Garden Hotel in 12 hours! We are (almost) all packed, settling down to eat dinner, bathe the kids, and go to bed. Early bedtime for everyone tonight. Can’t wait to see our family and friends on the other side of our trip. I am in awe of the Father’s goodness. I’m still...
Or not. As soon as it was opened, he ate it. Stuck in his teeth and everything. And then he stacked the containers for the rest of the time. Looks like we’ll be having lots of fun pulling the sensory bins out after we arrive home! This post is picture heavy – I was trying...
