Today was our first day out since the bug hit.... And what a day it was! We escaped the heat of the foothills and headed straight for the cool breezes of the mountains in Tahoe to show Clement the beauty that God made right here in our own little "village".
It was a gorgeous, perfect day. We hiked around Vikingsholm a bit (not too much since boys are still recovering a bit) and then took a picnic lunch to Kings Beach where we dipped our toes in the icy cold water and then scooped up the poles and bait for some crawdad fishing off of the jetty. It was a successful adventure! Clement declared himself the winner of crawdad fishing with a whopping total of FOUR crawdads caught at once. In this sport, it's not about the size. It's all about the quantity of how many you pull up at once. It's almost like playing a careful game of Pik-up-Stix or Jenga!
Today was a kiss on the cheek from Jesus. He restores us exactly when the need is there. Just yesterday I was telling my sister that I was trying not to feel discouraged with all of the sickness and disinfecting, but it was getting hard not to. I asked her to join me in prayer that my spirits would lift and the sickness would disappear. This morning, our house was FULL of smiles and laughter as we packed up the "bus" for our day away.
God is near... All the time.
