kickapoo love

Yesterday while I was in the living room working, the kids called out that a package had arrived in the mail.  It was long and slender with a return address of "The Goofballs at the Kickapoo Valley Reserve".  We were intrigued.  When we opened it up we found a photo poster depicting the images above.  There were some tears.  Here's the story as I know it.

On a January afternoon a couple of weeks ago, a bunch of our Kickapoo friends trekked out to one of our favorite places on earth to show our family some Kickapoo Love.  They all wore red, they stomped hearts in the snow, they held up letters of love and they even found a guy with a drone to capture it all.  I'm sure there was plenty of laughter and fun.  Can't you feel it?  We sure can!

Even when the world seems dark and scary there are people out there holding up the light for you.  Giving you strength and confidence to carry on.  We feel the love from that little valley flowing like the river right here to the city of Miami.  Filling us up, carrying us along.  We miss you all and can't wait to come home.

Cheers.
