🌴The Messy Magic of Family Vacations
Every couple of years, we pull off the ultimate challenge—getting the whole family together for a vacation✨
Sounds dreamy, right? Well… it is, and it’s also beautifully chaotic.
We just got back from our Florida adventure, and while there were plenty of unforgettable moments, there were also:
😵💫An eye stye,🦻A clogged ear, 🤒More than half of us sick on the ocean, 🎒A lost bag, ✈️Missed flights… and more unexpected surprises!
Because let’s be real—family trips are the definition of “the messy middle.” And yet, as Brené Brown says, “The middle is messy, but that’s where the magic happens.”
✨The magic was also in the tender mercies:
🏡Beautiful places to stay,👩⚕️Doctors available when needed, 💍A lost (and found!) necklace, 🍽️Everyone cooking & sharing meals and fun activities & lessons, 🐟the most delicious fish ever, and so much more!
And through it all, Jesus was in every detail~ the moments of joy, the mishaps, and everything in between. When we slow down and notice, the miracles are everywhere🙌 Here are some fun snapshots from our adventure!
📆Already counting down to our next big family trip in 2027—because no matter how messy it gets, I wouldn’t trade it for anything💙
