My kids enjoyed the time with their cousins and we enjoyed daily adult conversation!  :o)<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Because of my previously mentioned camera issues, pictures of the trip are either non existent or very blurry.  <\/p>\n<p>We ate at Mings one night.  We went to a reenactment of Bethlehem. We went to the Tech Museum.  We cleaned the church and played in the rain.  We watched fun YouTube videos.  The big kids stayed up late and chatted with the adults.  We tried to watch a movie, but were too tired.  We visited Grandma Ackerman&#8217;s and Great Grandpa Sutherland&#8217;s graves.<\/p>\n<p>All in all a very fun couple of days.  Thanks guys for coming.
