We have been blessed to share a wonderful Stateside visit with family and friends. Our youngest son and his wife returned from China and are now living in Arkansas. It was great to spend time with them and their new son:
We also enjoyed playing music and strolling together:
On December 17 we were able to attend a family wedding in Delaware with all of my brothers and sisters:
On December 20 in Pennsylvania, we welcomed the arrival of our daughter’s third son:
On a later visit, we were able to participate in the older boys’ “Hot Wheels” birthday party:
and celebrate the Clemson Tiger’s national championship football victory:
Our oldest son and his wife graciously flew us out to their home in Park City, Utah. There was a huge amount of snow, providing a great opportunity to ski at the nearby resort:
They also took us on our first backcountry ski adventure in search of untracked powder:
And they introduced us to a “Mystery Escape Room” where we worked together for an hour to solve puzzles and attempt to escape from a locked room:
As we prepare to return to China, we are very thankful for the special moments we’ve been able to spend with old and new family members:
Aww…I loved seeing all the pictures of you all! And what a wonderful blessing to get two new grandsons about seven weeks apart!! Your snow skiing adventure and time with S & J looked so fun too!
What a great trip! You all really were able to pack in quite a bit to a short amount of time. Almost like traveling around the country in an RV. 🙂
Thanks for making your way out West. Hope everything is going well now that you’re back “home”. (?)
