Family Time is the Best Time

Getting them all together in one place at one time is such a blessing. 

This year's weekend Kesterfest  was held at a lovely VRBO vineyard property

 in North Carolina that not only accommodated us with enough spread out sleeping space, but also offered an array of activities for all. 

Like rock wall jumping

 and ziplining into the pond

 and water trampoline flips

 and kayak tug of wars 

and skeet shooting,

and hanging out with the ever changing matchups of best buddies

and a bit of just plain hanging out, funny story telling and lots of laughter. 

Always lots of laughter.

The daughter and daughters-in-laws cooked up some fabulous meals, the nighttime bonfires roared, the secret walled garden was discovered and enjoyed by many,

everyone's kiddos became everyone else's kiddos and Fritz and I loved watching every moment of it.

 Time is the best gift of all.
