Vacation 2012

Last year we enjoyed a wonderful family vacation in Acapulco as our "Christmas gift" and so we decided to repeat that again this year!  Thanks to family who generously gave towards this time, we spent 5 days in Acapulco at the beginning of January.  The week was so relaxing and refreshing.  After having come off a few busy weeks and a lot of sickness, the Lord blessed us with sweet time together!  We played and on the beach, swam in the pool, enjoyed a fun water park, played family games at Starbucks, ate McDonalds, Domino's Pizza and Sushi (my favorite, YUM!!!), watched some movies, rode four-wheelers, and took in an amazing sunset!  It was a good time to just give thanks to the Lord for what He has and is doing in us and through us.  So, here are some memories from our time!

Team Johnson Sand Castle!
 Day at the Water Park!  
We spent the whole day there and had a blast!  Lydia won "The Most Fearless" award!  Hailey and Brady loved swimming around the lazy river, and Chayce was content riding slides with Daddy and just throwing the inner tubes in the water!  







 Four-Wheelin' It!
Boys vs. Girls, and I believe the Girls Won!!! (although my husband may argue that one!)








 Games and Starbucks--what a life!

 Paddle Boat ride with Dad--one lap was ENOUGH!

 The Girls!!  
(Camera ran out of battery before I could take one of the boys!)
Thank you, Lord for our wonderful family!  You have blessed us greatly, and we are so thankful for the memories we made during these days in Acapulco!  
 

Campamento 2011

Just after Christmas we joined about 80 high school/ college age students for 5 days at the camp.  Ben and Chico were in charge of the games and group activities for the week.  The kids always have a blast at the camp, and it was fun to see how much more confidant they were this year compared to a year ago.  The girls were right in the middle of everything, wanting to be a part of the worship times, the small group meetings, the games.  They LOVED hanging out with the older girls!  Brady would have stayed in the lagoon the whole time if we had let him, and Chayce was content to just follow his daddy around!  
Enjoy a few pics from the week!

Christmas 2011


We spent the morning of Christmas Eve decorating a gingerbread house together.  It was so fun to see each personality come out in their own side of the house!  Then we set it out to see how long it would take for it to be covered by ants--not long at all!!!



Later that night we made some pizzas, lit some sparklers and watched the Polar Express.  What a great Christmas Eve it was!!


 Christmas morning!!!
