Fruitful Abundance

   If there is one thing heart families battle it's the stress of how to spend our money. Every little thing becomes a balancing act and a "what if we need it for something else". The "what if's" that entangle us each pay day, each coffee out with a friend, each activity our kids want to do is a wicked inner fight.  Since the twins were born we haven't had a ton of time for fun as a family.  This weekend we put our worries aside and decided to do a day trip with our tribe. We realized our time as a family with all our children under one roof is coming closer and closer to an end. I can't believe we are almost there, the time when kids prepare for collage and plan to fly the nest and build lives of their own.

 Three Valley Gap is a ghost town nestled in the cannon of Revelstoke British Columbia. There is a ton to do there, a huge Railway Round house complete with steam engines, railway coaches and one of the largest covered turntables in North America. Mini golf, a beach, helicopter rides through the Rocky Mountains. Essentially it's an outdoor museum of fully furnished buildings that have been gathered from around BC.

No matter what we do, siblings of a child with complex issues really need complex care too. Raising healthy, happy siblings needs to be as deliberate and planned as drawing up medications for your child with medical needs. And sometimes that means taking a break for the daily routine to go do something fun laying all your worries down.
