Summer Vacation
We just arrived home from a wonderful family get-a-way in Hakkensak Minnesota! We had a super time with my parents, grandparents, Ben and Kara and Jesse. Although some of us came only for a few days or even a night, we truly enjoyed being together. We won't forget the many memories that always leave us feeling sad at the end of the week to leave each other. Each of us enjoyed different aspects to this great trip-
KYLE- Loved relaxing his body and mind from the everyday chaos of youth ministry. He also loved playing with his boys and wife at the beach and going to Itasca State Park to hike. Kyle provided great bonfires at night that allowed us to catch up with each other at the end of the day and laugh over silly moments that occured.
ANNA- Enjoyed a break from the overwhelming task of watching two little boys! Grandpa and Grandma were a tremendous help in allowing me to put my feet up and enjoy the sun throughout the day. I also enjoyed sun fishing with my dad and mom each morning. We enjoyed talking and getting hot from the sun! Plus, I enjoyed spending time with Kyle and going on little dates to the ice cream shop!
ANDREW- Loved everything about this week. He loved swimming with Grandpa and Grandma at the beach every afternoon. He would jump off the dock into Grandpa arms and swish around in the lake. By the end of the week he was showing us some swimming motions! Andrew loved eating all the great treats too. In fact, when I weighed him on our scale at home he had gained 5 lbs! Guess we'll have to cut back a little this week! He loved going on walks in the evenings and throwing rocks in the lake. There wasn't a moment Andrew was unhappy because he loved everything about being with Daddy, Mommy, Micah, Grandpa/ma Stegeman, Uncle Ben, Aunt Kara, Uncle Jesse, and Great Grandpa/ma Britz.
MICAH- Slept great and loved all the great attention from everyone. He dipped his feet in the lake and even went out fishing! Micah's favorite part of the vacation was all the snuggling and kisses he was given. In fact, he has been the most fussy since we've come home- I think he misses Grandma and Grandpa already!
We were so thankful to be together as a family and enjoy the quietness and peacefulness of God's creation. Take a peak at a few of the memories we will hold from this trip! Have a great week!
