Lake Havasu & the London Bridge

-
On our Thanksgiving adventure we lead an expedition to Lake Havasu City to visit the famous London Bridge.  No trip near water would be complete with out a little rock throwing.
 

When the kids started throwing rocks in the water, the ducks started coming.  They came in large amounts, I'm sure thinking they would be fed some lovely bread crumbs.  I'm sure they were greatly disappointed to find there was no tasty treat waiting them.  If I had known there would be so many ducks we would have brought some bread.


Have you ever tried to get 14 kids on one playground all to fit in one picture, and looking at the camera? . . .  Not an easy task.


The weather was perfect, notice some kiddos wearing shorts.  We all enjoyed a walk along the channel to the London Bridge, chatting and visiting as we went.


This outing was Grandma Sue's idea and I believe was enjoyed by all.  Her one regret was that we hadn't gone earlier in the day to enjoy the beautiful weather, scenery and company longer.

The Milestones That Bring Us Together

  Grateful for milestones that bring family together...Last Saturday my brothers and I gathered to celebrate our Dad's 80th birthday!!! After 80 years on earth my Dad's body continues to be strong (mostly) while his memory continues to fade. For a man who is a planner and organizer he struggles to live in the moment and be content...I guess when you don't have current memories to reflect on, you dream and imagine your future. Inspite of his current reality we enjoyed a few hours celebrating together, laughing, sharing and watching him relive his glory days with near clarity. Watching him watch himself play football and talk and share about the players and the plays brought out part of my Dad that has been hidden for years!

  There are moments in life when you realize just how blessed you are... celebrating my mom's 80th birthday recently was one of those moments!! Over the years we have moved away from one another, haven't always stayed in close contact with everyone but being together I felt the love that comes from being family! To my mom family is everything and it is her love for us individually that radiates and unites those around her! My mom is a little energizer bunny sharing, serving, living, loving, experiencing, adventureing and enjoying every moment of every day! She definitely is not 80 years old but 80 years loved!!! And on her way to many more!! From three awesome Andruski kids... ...to this beautiful bunch... ... combined 17 years ago with the Browns makes for a wonderful group of great people to love one special lady!
