Boat Ride with Friends!

Pontoon. Lake Minnetonka. Friends!  Hubby and I were on a boat with three other couples by 8am on Saturday morning.  We all brought our dish to share and off we went.  It was a fantastic day, not so hot, no rain and great laughs!  Many thanks to Marisa and Efa for organizing this event.  I definitely look forward to the next one! 

Kids Off To Camp

Just a few hours ago we dropped our kids off to go to Camp.  It has been about 3 years since they've last gone, but this year was pretty special.  Jayson actually was the one who insisted on going, as this will be his sister Bre's last year at church camp.  When they have gone in the past, they have had much more than just good kid fun, but a real encounter with God.  It's a great time (5days) to go a few hours away, no cell phones, facebook, and junk from the regular world....but God, friends, worship and God's Word.  I love that they WANTED to go and I can't wait to hear all about it.  Their past experience tells me they will be pumped up, on fire and eager to do whatever they heard from the Lord.  What an amazing opportunity.

Jayson's Trip to Denver

Last week Jayson took a little four day vacation to visit his buddy Will, who moved to Denver at the end of the Summer!  After having a birthday, turning thirteen and making the honor roll first quarter, we thought what a great gift it would be to send him to have some fun with a fantastic family!  Fun, is an understatement!  He had a blast!  After flying for the first time by himself (many compliments from the Flight Attendants on what a great kid he is!), he was greeted by his buddy and off to play basketball they went.  Jayson was invited to play in Will's Tournament.  It was a neat experience for him to play with a group of kids and coach he had just met.  When they weren't playing hoops, they were playing Paintball, site seeing in the mountains and the one thing boys like to do, just hang!

He had a terrific time and has already asked when he can return.  We are very thankful to The Bower Family for opening their home and showing our boy a great time!  It's so good to know and have great friends!
