Family Camp 2018

Another amazing family camp in the books! 

It was such a great week... lots of beach days, park days, games, hanging out with friends and lots of church! We all love family camp and this year was no exception :)

Every afternoon there is a fun activity planned for the kids. Zack was the only one of our 3 boys that participated. Jakob and Levi are in youth now 😉

Three legged and wheel barrow races:

Then to the beach!

Lots of swimming to the yellow dock!

Another day - bubble ball:

Back to the beach!

Sometimes it rains... 

More sunny beach days:

Always a favorite - smores:

Jakob spent most of the time with his friends, boating and hanging out by the fire at night. Lots of really great memories for him :)

"Boat" rides and fishing with Opa:

 And lots of beautiful sunsets:

I'm so thankful that we get to experience this every year :)

Happy Father's Day, Michael!

We went to my parents for the afternoon on Father's Day. We played games and ate BBQ, it was a fun, relaxing afternoon :)

Amy & Deb's Las Vegas Vacation

 Debbie & I went to Las Vegas to celebrate our 40th birthdays. We had so much fun! We tanned by the pool, went shopping, did a few touristy things and spent hours laughing. It was a great trip!

Jakob's Grade 9 Graduation

All done Jr. High for Jakob!

I really can't believe it.... from this little boy going into kindergarden:

to this handsome young man going into high school:

We are so proud of Jakob and all that he accomplished in Jr. High. Way to go, Jake!

Jakob and his buddies from Kindergarden to now...

Next stop...Scona!

Weekend at the Lake

We went to the lake this past weekend to do some work at the camp. We are getting a new playground and Michael and Jakob volunteered to help. I can't wait to see the playground when it's finished, it's going to be so much fun for the kids!

This crew got a lot done! (Still lots to be done before camp though!)

While Michael and Jakob worked, Levi and Zack played giant checkers:

Levi rode the motorbike:

and Zack the quad:

No rest for Michael! Once he was done with the camp work, I put him to work ;)

Slowly but surely our cabin is getting finished.
