Fun in Fresno

this week i decided to take the kids to see some dear friends of ours up in Fresno. on our 3 week road trip last summer, this was our first stop. we love these friends. it's faith's birthday and she hoped that we would be able to celebrate with her... so here we are! roller skating last night, swimming and a fun pizza place tonight. good food + great friends = good times + memorable moments!

one memorable moment is below: Ian had a blue raspberry slurpee from the all-you-can-drink beverage bar. this made his tongue and his teeth match his blue eyes... WOW!

so far we have been encouraged by this brother and sister in the Lord. have you ever had a friend who brought forth the healing of the Holy Spirit and encouraged the restoration of strength and renewal of hope? such are these friends. i am looking forward to the next few days. we will likely head home on Saturday.
