There is a quote: "LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORMS TO PASS.... IT'S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN."
With 12 children and 5 adopted from Russia, we have had challenges and trials along with our joys. We have decided that we must
learn how to "dance in the rain." We must notice and acknowledge the joys and miracles in our lives.
They exist daily -- we just need to make sure we do not miss them!! This blog is to remind us of these miracles and joys!

2013: AUGUS 2 -- OLD FORT MADISON AND THE MISSISSIPPI

OLD FORT MADISON AND THE MISSISSIPPI
AUGUST 2, 2013

On our free morning, we went to explore the "Old Fort Madison" and walk along the Mississippi River.  The fort looked cool but was really expensive so we chose to walk around it then sit in the pavilion and have dad read to us about its history. :)  We sure enjoyed our play at the park and 
playing in the Mississippi River.
