Holy Hill!

On Saturday we made a stop at Holy Hill National Shine of Mary, Help of Christians. It is absolutely breathtaking. Elyse climbed all 178 stairs up the scenic tower. She kept us all motivated saying, " Come on guys, we can do it!" and " Whew! Just a few more!". I was so glad we were able to attend mass at this beautiful basilica. For lunch, we ate at the Holy Cafe. Brooke was relieved to see they serve bacon for lunch! We ended our stay with a leisurely walk through the Stations of the Cross that are scattered in the surrounding woods. The kids were excited to see the different stations they acted out at school this past Lenten season. It was truly a blessed day!
