Blue Marsh

BLUE MARSH

My niece, Nikki finally came home after over a month of leisurely touring Asia. OK, not quite. She was on mission work and from the stories she has told us they were roughing it. I mean, who pays to go somewhere far from home with strangers, to wear the same clothes days in a row, while eating food that will probably make the toilet one of your closest friends? Those who have a heart for lost souls. Now, I'm not saying you have to go over to another country to do that and neither would Nikki but, well, it's so much fun to see new places and cultures. 

Anyway, now that Nikki is home and all is right with the world, she came up to see us. The children adore her and would go home and live with her forever and never look back once. We went to Blue Marsh, a local lake that has a spot with sand.

Sadly this is the only picture I have of Nikki but it is her all the way. She always seems to have people who need to see her or want to see her, or really, really love to see her. Ahem, we won't mention any names yet. Ahem, Derek, oops, I'm sorry did that slip out!?

After burning my two red heads in Maryland, I am making them cover up and apply sunscreen multiple times.

OK, maybe this is too much.

When you love a certain piece of clothing you can always buy two!

 

We love the water so much. Please, Daddy dear, can we have a pool!?

PLEEEESE?!

And last but not least Nikki bought the girls' some fish coin purses. The girls love them and use them at church for their offering money.
