November 3rd Gratitude Entry #3

You may ask where Entry #2 is....it's been assigned out and is forthcoming at anytime!

Gratitude Entry #3 is from Jeffrey's point of view (and most of our families as well!) Jeffrey is grateful for our annual trip to Raft River!

We are blessed enough to have great friends (thanks Parry's!) who introduced us to Raft River. Since this is from Jeffrey's point of view, the first thing I am going to tell you about is the water slides. Bryan will take Jeffrey up to the top of the waterslide on the 4-wheeler (a privilege only Jeffrey is entitled too!) and then down we all go. Jeffrey tenses up, kicks, squeals and loves every minute of going down the 1/4 of a mile water slide. I don't know if there is any other activity in the world that brings Jeffrey more joy, honestly. Plus, he loves riding on the 4 wheeler quite a bit too! We have been blessed enough to go several times over the past years and each time we do I get excited to see the smile on Jeffrey's face that only happens when he goes down that slide. We usually spend 2 nights there and the great part is, we go with incredible friends everytime! Besides the water slides, there is a huge zip line, a candy cannon machine, massive swing sets, and last time we even incorporated a service project. So I KNOW Jeffrey is grateful for his favorite get away, Raft River!

Oh, I love seeing Jeffrey smile and laugh--he is on my gratitude list. (Along with his mom, his, dad, his brother, and his sister). Thanks, Jeffrey, for bringing happy thoughts to me today. Jenni, I'll be sending something to you via e-mail. Let me know if you don't get it.

If Jeffrey is happy that is the best gift ever. It is awesome that he can enjoy it and spend time with family and friends doing something he truly enjoys and will make him happy. Jeffrey is the best gift to me, I love him so very much!
