Grandpa is visiting with us and we had fun getting rides on his boat today and some of us enjoyed some tubing too.

After a great week of camping we spent our weekend visiting with family. It was good to be with some of our family for the weekend and we even got to watch some fireworks on Saturday night celebrating the 150th birthday of my hometown. Josiah fell asleep on the way home. I think the busy week caught up to all of us.

We had a great vacation last week. We camped at Young State Park in Boyne City and were blessed with beautiful, warm weather. We had a great time swimming in Lake Charlevoix and had lots of fun all week long.

This is what little boys from Northern Michigan do when there’s no snow.

I enjoyed walking this morning. It’s another beautiful August day. Zachary walked with me. There were several people launching their boats on the lake today. It looks like it will be nice all day.

It’s been a great day here today. I enjoyed the beauty of the lake this morning when I walked and my kids are enjoying being outside this afternoon.

It was a great morning for a walk. Luke, Jacob and Zachary joined me for my walk today.

The guys were busy this morning getting the vehicles clean.

Yesterday was a great afternoon to get in some swimming.
