Annual Wal-mart Parking Lot Trip


Well, Brittany and I went down to Kalispell for our 2nd annual "bonding" trip. You know we talked about going longer and getting a hotel this year but alas the sleep in the car thing is a hoot and we wanted to do it again. We decided that perhaps next year we will go Saturday and camp. We can go to church in Kalispell and lay around and read on the Sabbath then shop on the Monday - good times - we'll see next year. The long weekend was warm and wonderful and full of family which is my favorite way to spend the time. Brittany and I just finished reading the book "As a Man Thinketh". It reminded us a lot of the Secret which we read last summer. Just confirms that we can control what we become bycarefully concentrating on the virtues we desire to have. I really liked the chapter on Serenety. It is something that I have always admired and an attribute I would like to develop.
To my girls that didn't get to come on the read trip this year - maybe more of us can go next year. Thanks to my wonderful DJ who helped us when we had car trouble and kept the home fires buring.

From one of the left behind girls... I would love to come on an overnight Kalispell trip next year. Alas, this year it just would not have been comfortable sleeping in the car because I am huge pregnant, but next year we will tear it up and baby Bergsma can stay home with daddy! Whoo hoo for a girls trip!

For sure you can come next year. Maybe we will get a hotel or camp in a actual camp ground. Although I must admit there is an element of excitement about the parking lot that makes me giggle.
