Blessings....

Have you ever had one of those days where you feel like God just blesses your socks off? That was my day yesterday. Due to circumstances that were more than just mere "coincidence" I had the privilege of meeting Kelly and Harper Stamps!

After praying for weeks for this sweet baby (who was extremely sick and had a lengthy stay in NICU) ....it was incredible to meet her face to face. It was seeing one of God's miracles come full circle. I think these are rare moments in life...and this is definately one I will treasure!

Harper is absolutely precious! Kelly shows pictures of her daily on her blog, but she's even more aborable in person!
I LOVED to see her look at her momma! She would just grin! So, so ,so sweet!

This was a church located just across the street from our hotel. The three crosses in front were huge.

After lunch, Michael had an appointment, so the kiddos and I needed something to do for a couple of hours. And what could be better than....CHUCK E CHEESE! Actually, by the time we got there is was nearly two....so it was practically empty. So, note to self...go to C.E.C. in the middle of the afternoon for a great time! HA!

They now have a "bowling" game. It was pretty cool!

And this is a "monster truck" ride. It was a little on the wild side!
Connor said he thought he was gonna fall out!

Even Ethan joined in on all the fun! He wasn't sure at first....

...so Kate made him ride it THREE times! By the end it was a hit!

Mason was a pro at the hoops!

All three wanted to "ride" the roller coaster!

Hang on!

Kate was screaming as if she were at Six Flags!

(Glad the place was empty!)

Another note to self....I think I had forgotten how cool Chuck E. Cheese could be! Unfortunately, I think we're usually there on a Saturday, probably for a birthday party, and it's always CRAZY!! But another cool thing I noticed this time around...is that EVERY game/ride is only ONE TOKEN!! Even the "really cool" ones that Mason likes to ride!

An afternoon of fun was only $20. That bought over 100 tokens! Many other places, like the Incredible Pizza Company, Alley Cats, etc. will cost you a minor fortune.

So, if you and your crew need some entertainment this summer, hit your local Chuck E. Cheese! (No...this is not a paid advertisement. Just a mom who values a good time at a cheap price! :)
