Mid-Summer

This Wed. will literally be the middle of our summer. Six and a half weeks off and six and a half to go. Sadly, we haven't left town yet. We are planning on going somewhere the last week of July though. Ann wants to go to Temperance River State Park up the north shore. Ali is at Bible camp this week - her 5th year - she loves it. I think she'd like to be a counselor some year. Adam will go next week for the first time. He is going with a boy from school, Garrett, whom we know pretty well. Hi sister has gone to the camp in the past as well. It is called Camp Lebanon, in Upsula Minnesota. You can Google it and sometimes they post pictures of camp weeks. I'm not sure what Adam will eat - he wants me to pack him some pop-tarts for back-up in case he doesn't like the food.

For you out of towners, we had a golden birthday open house for Adam on the 12th. (He turned 12 of course) It was fun and he had a good time. Thanks for helping make it a special day for him if you were able to be here. Ava plays - everyday - just plays. Plays with anyone who will play with her - plays games, sports, house, whatever........she's a player. What a life.....remember playing? I played with matchbox cars a lot......and tonka trucks before the roads were tarred (sp?) Anyway, we have fun watching her play. Ann and I are well......working on the house.....walking when we can......life is good.....God Bless!
