Lullabye, go to sleep.... zzzzzz

Oh how glorious it is to sleep in!

We decided to take the morning off and let the kids rest - and I tell you they have never been happier on this trip... after I announced the new plan last night I got cheers, many hugs and a chorus of "THANK YOU NATALIA!!!" It's 9am right now and there are a few up, but mostly they are all still asleep. Praise Jesus for comfy beds, fresh mountain air, and the freedom to sleep in.

Last night we went to the Passion Play at FLBC. It was powerful and very good. I'm glad we went to see it, and the kids seemed to appreciate it (it's hard to say they liked it when it's a passion play). We had some good talks about it on the drive home. In a row a few rows behind us there was a little kid that kept on asking questions - and I think that it added a lot for some of our kids. Instead of being annoyed, they saw the story through the eyes of this young Christian who was struggling to understand why Jesus died and why it happened. In some ways they saw it for the first time again - which was a very cool experience.

We're off to Glacier again today - for one last journey at Lake MacDonald on horseback. It's going to be beautiful. There is a chance for rain, so pray that we miss it and can enjoy our last day of adventure!
