and the goodbyes came

The last day arrived.  And the hard goodbyes with it.  It's especially hard to see my girls struggle - they are so sad to see Grandma and Grandpa go.  Great encouragement to me this morning in Lamentations.  "though He cause grief He will have compassion, according to the abundance of His steadfast love" (3:22)

What sweet memories we share, it was truly just a great great visit!  One highlight was certainly our time at this fancy fancy hotel!

All the (heated) pools got us thinking about our Malaysia trip!

Poolside dinner :)

Crazy faces.

More swimming - lots and lots of swimming!

The lazy river rowboat ride.  Pretty fun stuff, once I convinced my boating partner (John Paul) that he didn't need to paddle!

our love of construction equipment runs deep

Note any resemblance?!?!

And now Grandma and Grandpa are off to America, and we are dreaming of the next visit already :)  Grandma says maybe when it's warmer!
