Handsome Hubby called home the day before Good Friday, and said he had to go out of town the following week for work, and we should all go.
My first thought was "4 kids, 6 states, in 5 days? The week after Easter, and just before 2 children's birthdays? No way!!"After some convincing from my Hubby, we quickly packed up, found a place for the Dog, and left on Easter (after church, family time, and baskets!). We drove to Springfield, IL(state #2) for Sunday night. Monday, it was through Missouri (state #3) to the N-E corner of Arkansas(state #4). We stayed there until Wednesday morning.
Here's Cutie Pie, ready to get in the hotel pool, wearing his Spidey swimtrunks and Spidey vest!

Dino Dude and Karate Chopper do many things together, including sychronized jumps into the pool! 1-2-3-JUMP...cannon ball! **SPLASH**The best part of being in a hotel (according to the kids!), is the pool! We were able to spend time in the pool Monday evening and Tuesday morning.
Princess Ladybug loves the water! She enjoyed jumping into the pool, holding her breath, and getting ready...ready...ready...GO! :)
A very close-up of Karate Chopper, in his goggles. He's got a face you just have to smile at!
Wednesday, we drove back through MO and IL, into the southern part of Indiana (state #5) and northern part of Kentucky (state #6). We stayed with our good friends who live in IN, just a half-hour from Louisville (where Hubby spent Thursday, for work). As you can see in this picture, our friends have 4 children also, the same ages as our Blessings.
We had a wonderful visit with them, as usual!
I am really glad we all decided to go, as we had some great family time in the car and at the hotel. God provided opportunities for us to bless one another, and others; and we were blessed by our friends' church family! What a blessing to be part of His Family!!!

I am so glad you got to get away and have fun. Unplanned trips are very exciting. Looks like you all had a blast!
Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog--God knew I needed the encouragement. Just last night I was crying out to the Lord--He reminded me that my ministry of raising these little souls IS NOT IN VAIN! It is my desire to love them straight to Jesus, and boy does that make the enemy mad! Standing on the rock that is Higher than I. His love compels me, Summer
