Summer Fun

Our July has been crazy with many mini-trips and a whole lot of fun. Over the 4th, we were at a family retreat that Scott runs for our church family. We had a great time together with our own fire works and all!



















We've been able to spend an evening with the Lehman's...the ultimate hosts! On the lake. Can you believe we ALL were able to tube at one time! So much fun!


The captain of the ship.


This week we took a trip up to Ill/WI with some friends to visit our special friend Donny. He was a part of our church many years ago and now comes to visit every Christmas. Last year we were blessed to have him in our home for a few days. Here he is showing us his room and his fire truck. So precious.

He lives a very special community called the Shepherds Ministry. They have 180 residents that live, work and are taught about the Lord on a daily basis. It was incredible to see them here in this large building working away at their jobs. Some were putting together kits for Wal-mart and others were playing legos. We met a lot of wonderful people whom God loves dearly.


On Monday evening we picked up some yummy pizza's and went to the beach for a picnic. It was a gorgeous night complete with an air balloon launch!


It was Owen's birthday on Tuesday so we celebrated there. He turned 7! Hard to believe...


With 3 families, 10 kids, a lot of fun, we headed to Six Flags for the day on Tuesday. We had a blast!



Well...most of us enjoyed the rides! Greg...not so much!


Neither did Tyler...although he got better as the day went on!
