Adventures with Guela!

I love it when you can take a picture that captures life's journey...this one could be called 'life's twists and turns'...I don't always take the time to smell the roses (or in this case, take pictures of the scenery) but when you are hanging out with Guela it's hard not to. She is so positive and appreciates everything! It makes it really easy to appreciate her. The boys had games today and instead of waiting in the gym for our next game we decide to have an adventure...it took us to a coffee shop on the water. The kids played dominoes and ate sandwiches. Guela and I sipped coffee. Next was a tour of Guela's favorite places in Fairhaven and then we went for a nice ride down Chuckanut Blvd. Life's Twists and Turns...they aren't all bad!!
This one here...she smells the roses...a lil guela in the making!
The boys decided to count all the waterfalls coming out of the mountain...this one is the one that started the game!
Our God is an AWESOME GOD!!
Sometimes....more often then not...it really does pay to stop and smell the roses!!
We had a fantastic day hanging out together!
Oh yeah...the boys played some good basketball too!!
