Hanging with those Crazy Branches

I love love love spending time with my in-laws. I enjoy visiting Pagaosa Springs and seeking the Rocky Mountains. This year we went for two weeks in June and it was jam packed filled with BBQ s, rafting, hiking, frisbee, and more. Mike and Berkey are the best at hospitality. They are truly hostesses with the mostesses. This year what stuck out the most was entertaining two little princesses. My nieces, Madeline and Addison are 3 years old and love Disney princesses. Berkey is a great seamstress and sowed two dresses, a Belle and a Cinderella. The girls were thrilled and knew that they were cute. Let me say, they are cute.
The Branches, like my family, sacrifice time spent with us because of the calling on our lives. It is a privilege to go into the world and tell people about Jesus, a blessing truly but giving up holidays, birthdays, and etc with our families is the hardest part. The Branches do so with such grace and support. We are so blessed!!!
Anywho, enough of that, here are some pictures from our trip.
