Finally home after a really eventful 12 day trip to Vancouver and Alaska. We traveled as a group of 14 people, ages ranging from 0-80. What an amazing blessing to have celebrated my sister and brother in law's 20th year wedding anniversary, my nephew's 1 year old birthday, my cousin's 23rd birthday, and Father's Day with 5 dads all in the same week! In all honesty, there were times where it felt like pure chaos. Wrangling such a large group of people and moving from one destination to another was anything but easy. Planning group activities that were suitable for babies, kids, and elderlies felt impossible at times. Being the planner that I am, I ditched my spreadsheet early on and decided to just embrace the chaos. I prayed a lot, laughed a lot, and reminded myself over and over again to go with the flow. Baby meltdowns? I laughed and filmed it for his future wedding slideshow. Grumpy grandpas? I built in nap times for them through the day. When you're in the moment of all the chaos, it can often feel overwhelming. But we have to remember that all challenges will pass and eventually become great stories to share later on. It's real life, unfiltered and authentic, and we have to learn to cherish these times along with all those things-are-going-according-to-plan times that are far and few in between whenever kids are involved! 😂I'm reminiscing on all the funny moments shared on our trip now while tackling the dreaded aftermath of a trip--unpacking + laundry + email catch up!! Wish me luck! One of my most favorite part of our trip was getting to spend a lot of time with my baby cousin who is not a baby anymore! She drinks latte and wine now, so grown up! 😵 @ceelinet I loved our chats and will miss you so much! Can I still call you my baby cousin though? 😂 It's extra cool when you get to see wildlife in their own natural habitat. We saw 2 humpback whales, 2 bald eagles, and a family of seals today. #alaska I was an adrenaline junkie with Alan before I became a mom, so I should totally understand where Bridgette got her thrill-seeking nature from. But somehow, my knees still go a little weak whenever I watch her conquer such adventures. 😅 Oh how glorious it has been to breathe in the cold Alaskan air! The girls love hangin' with @ceelinet all day, everyday. 😍 Two whole days of social media break was really refreshing! When you're on the Disney cruise, you lose track of time and space. Disney does incredibly well at transporting us into their magical world, sweeping us away from reality, if just for a few sweet days. I'm so thankful to be able to share the experience this time around with my parents, in laws, and other close families. It's been quite an adventure so far, with many stories to tell already! We caught our first view of the glaciers yesterday and it was mesmerizing. I couldn't stop staring at God's amazing creations all afternoon. ❤️
