Ahhhh, vacation

Wonderful time away.

With family {Gogo and Pa}

With dear friends {Achto family 7!}

with each other.

Rejuvenating.  Relaxing.  Restful.

Sooo fun to be together.

Played in the pool all.the.time!

Emma Kate and Anna officially have mermaid status.

Bocce, football, golf.  Olympics family style.

I'll NEVER forget the great grapefruit event.  Or the freestyle jump contest.  The bubble gum blowing contest was a bit lacking, but perhaps that was due to the chlorine?  Ha.

Horseback rides {Emma rode two days!}.

Native American museum tour {The Heard Museum}.

Yummy food a la Casa Gogo!  My mom is an incredible cook, and we all dined in such style thanks to her.

Endless grapefruit harvesting, lemon picking.

Which equals....freshly squeezed juice.  Morning.  Noon.  Night.

Heaven.  Truly.

Jim, Coop, Jeb, Pa and I ventured out to an art gallery show one evening.  The artist had a show and it was so fun to go and see.   We love Bonner David.  If you want some eye candy, go peruse Romona Youngquist, Claudia Hartley, Melissa Peck and Francis Livingston.  And drool.  Such beautiful pieces.

It was a beautiful gift to have time away together.  Gogo and Pa showered us with their love and hospitality.

It is official: Camp Acacia West is the best! :)

Thank you, Gogo and Pa, for a very special week.
We love you so very much, and it was a true and total blessing.

Photos to come!
