Blue skies smiling at me...

Nothing but blue skies do I see.

Thursday afternoon we took off for an escape...to enjoy this. Nothing but blue skies.

And this picture of Barry and Selah captures the atmosphere of our night. Laughter, friendships, and enjoying God's pure beauty around us.

And of course it had to involve lots of fun and spoiling too. Sandwiches and pop! Pop is one of the words Selah was quick to pick up.
And Selah even got in to enjoy the crystal clear water of the Illinois River! Don't worry we didn't let her blow bubbles or anything. But she did keep asking to get "in, in" We think she is going to definately share in her daddy's love for the water.

And it was little Finn's first boat ride! He enjoyed every minute of it. We even made him his own little cabana while we ate so he didn't soak up too many of the sun's rays.

And he got snuggled on all night long! True spoiling and lovin' at its best by Joyce.
Overall it was an amazing evening. We love you Joyce and Barry! And to top it off Finn slept his first straight 7 1/2 hours during the night.
I think this means we are going to have to do some more evenings like this soon !
