Final Scotland Trip. . . .

Since we are now preparing to leave Scotland on November 1st, we decided its important to get out one last time and see the country. Many of you may not know this, but we went over a year here as a family before we were able to "get out" to the highlands together just a few weeks ago. Crazy! Well, we're going to make up for lost time now.

Dustin has a Scot friend, Alastair, from his outdoor education group, whose family owns a croft (Scots old-school farm and cottage in the highlands) up in the Hebrides. To get there, you drive up north through the highlands, turn west, cross the bridge between the mainland and the isle of Skye and drive to Uig where you board a ferry and cross to North Uist. . . . yeah, its out there on the edge of everything!

We're looking forward to just getting out as a family one more time before we leave.

Here's a link to the Hebrides to see where we're going:

Keep us in prayers -- a little sunshine in late October would be nice, but probably not required!

Dust, Jan, Lil' & Zo'
