Enjoying our Stay-cation!

Well our big adventures in Panama have come to an end.  We had an amazing vacation but I do have to say it has been nice being home.  We cherish every moment we are away, but it seems like whenever we leave it just makes us appreciate LIFE, and our STUFF so much more when we come home.  I guess, maybe, because we see how so many other parts of the world live and "survive"& we see a lot of poverty.  We definitely live the life of LUXURY here in the U.S. and seeing other parts of the world just makes me appreciate what I have so much more.  To be honest, I don't know which I prefer...there is so much to be said for the SIMPLE living, but then again we have so much advantage just being a U.S citizen.  I am torn!    I do believe there will come a time in our lives when we will make our EXIT...in the meantime, we are going to ENJOY our time here in the "land of plenty"!

            Riley has taken up surfing this summer...here she is checking the waves with Dad and Cole.
                                                           Nothing like chasing seagulls!

                                          And a visit from Mimi, "my mom", from Hawaii!
                                                               Fun times with cousins!

                                                                         And sisters!

There's honestly nothing better than coming home from a long vacation and appreciating all of the things and people that we missed while we were gone.  I couldn't ask for more from this life of mine.... I am definitely blessed all around and wouldn't change things for the world!!
