Vacation

We have returned from our annual vacation to the beach with friends. We had such a fun time on our vacation that we were a bit sad to come back home. But now that we are back and getting settled into a summer routine, the girls are having fun. We spent a few days at the beach in New Jersey and then ended our vacation with a day at Hershey Park. We all had fun at the beach. Our first full day there was beautiful. We spent the entire day at the beach with packed lunches and snacks and some sand included as an appetizer. Apparently Ainsley still thinks that eating sand is a good idea! Though I radically disagreed with her I figured a little protein wouldn't hurt her. A few of the days were really cold and not all that sunny but we went down anyway! The final day at the beach was cool and cloudy but had some awesome waves. Jeff, Brian, Lydia, Rachel and Danny spent 2-3 hours boogie boarding on the waves and had a great time. The last day was spent packing up our stuff, cleaning the beach house and going for a ride on a surrey. I unfortunately did not get any pictures of the surrey but we had a lot of fun riding it. I will include some pics of our vacation. We are still waiting to get Travel Approval from China. We are on day 36 of our wait. Thanks for all the prayers and encouragement as we wait. Our summer already seems to be flying by and as I look at the calendar I wonder how we will get everything done!
