Grandma Carol and Grandpa Bob were our send off crew! They took us to and from the aiport.
We spent many hours each day at the beach and pool. These kids are quite athletic as you can see!
One of the local shops on the island has a rescue parrott mission. Every year we see the parrotts outside their store. These birds are beautiful ....and loud!
Time to leave Sun Plaza West and head to Orlando!
We picked up a spare kiddo! Michael Oestreich grew up with Josh & Cate at King's Garden Children's Home in the Phillipines. Michael was adopted to Florida the year after we brought Josh & Cate home. We have been able to reunite these guys every year on our annual trips south. So fun to see how God brings these kids back together year after year. This Friday Michael and his family fly to the PI to bring home another young man. RJ will be joining the Oestreich family. God is so good.
Time to say our goodbyes and head back north. It's never easy leaving but I think these kiddos are starting to get the gist of what having a family is all about.
The faithful pickup crew of Grandma Carol and Grandpa Bob were waiting for us at the airport. They are ever faithful. I guess that's what family is all about. One last picture to share of the joy we found on the beach at Anna Maria Island.
God won't leave you, not even for a minute! Isaiah 42:16
Thanks for reading the blog and praying for us.
Choosing joy,
Chris & crew
