Sunday, July 29, 2012 - Happy Birthday Walt!

A Day Off in Eminence, MO

 As with each day off, we started the day with a big breakfast. It was important to nourish the kids before they started the long drive home to Chicago. It was an enjoyable morning, but we said our goodbyes and sadly saw them depart.  

A surprise rain shower filled the morning as we relaxed the rest of the day. In the afternoon, we had our family devotions.  Then, we ventured back down to the river bank and watched the canoes cruise by in front of us. We received word that the kids made it safely home. After dinner we had s surprise birthday pie for Walt, to include singing Happy Birthday!

 It's the Birthday Boy!
