Day 3,547

Growth:

In vacation we don’t always have to go a thousand miles per hour, sometimes chilling is exactly what the doctor ordered.  Today we all thoroughly enjoyed pausing everything for an hour and a half while some of us napped and others read.  We then had another moment of stillness after dinner when we were all sitting by the campfire reading.

Appreciation:

This was one of the all time most Kreiling vacation days.  Woke up, knocked out a scenic hike, found another hike and did that one too.  We then had lunch, chilled and napped for 90 minutes, and then hit every possible overlook.  Back to the campsite for supper, chilled for an hour, drove out for the sunset early, played games in the van, took in an epic sunset, and then more games in the van until the stars came out.  After taking our fill of the stars we called it a day.

Busy, but plenty of downtime, full of adventure and time together.  Perfect!

Presence:

Staring up at the infinite blanket of stars and blackness, realizing just how tiny I am in the big picture of life.  Sharing that moment with Becky and the boys as we all lay silently upon the rock structures on the two thousand feet tall cliffs and soak in the vastness and beauty of the night sky.

Thanks!!!
