We had a great time camping at Warren Dunes. The weather was gorgeous. It was nice and warm and didn’t rain. We enjoyed beautiful Lake Michigan and hiking around the dunes.

From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised!
Kevin’s parents came for a visit yesterday and we went to see the Mackinac Bridge. We had lots of fun seeing the sights in the Straits of Mackinac. We ate supper in St. Ignace and couldn’t pass Murdick’s without stopping to buy some fudge. We didn’t swim but the kids did stick their feet in Lake Michigan. We love the beach along Route 2 west of St. Ignace. It was a beautiful day for a trip.

Yesterday Jacob rode his bike while Zachary and I walked. I sure enjoy my morning walks!
Tuesday we took Kristi to camp and while we were there we got to visit with Kevin M. and Taylor for a bit. It was a beautiful day for a drive. We saw a very pretty field full of sunflowers and while we were stopped for some road construction admired a lovely garden. When we returned home we enjoyed a refreshing dip in Higgins Lake and then Zachary, Josiah and I went for a short bike ride.
Yesterday we celebrated Josiah’s 8th birthday.
Luke celebrated his 14th birthday today!
We’ve been enjoying some fresh cucumbers from our garden the last few days.
Luke, Jake and I rode our bikes this morning to the CCC museum. The weather was great for a ride. After we rode there, we cut over to the North State Park and a couple of deer ran across the trail in front of us. The lake was very pretty and calm this morning.
Yesterday while Nick’s birthday cake was in the oven we lost power. The cake was only half baked. Instead of the Cincinnati Chili Nick wanted for his birthday supper we ended up getting pizza and going to the North State Park where there was power. We had pizza and ice cream, swam and Nick opened his presents. Today we’ll continue celebrating his birthday with the chili and his birthday cake. Nick loved the change of plans due to the power loss. He is a fish and loves to be in the water, so swimming on his birthday was lots of fun for him.
