Day 3 RV trip! Niagara Falls

Friday

Lake Heron was gorgeous this morning! When I got back from a quick wake up run we all put our swim suits on and went swimming in Lake Heron #2 Great Lake and the water was super chilly and a really rocky bottom! So refreshing and crazy!! We ran to the hot showers after our swim before hopping in the RV. Today, day 3 is our Niagara Falls day!!! We could not wait to get there!
The day was perfect. I wish I could have held back time just to embrace the beauty of the falls and time with my family. No words to describe how perfect this day was. Hold on and soak in all the great photos from our day!

 Drew decided to grab a Subway sandwich at 8:30a on our way to Niagara! We all got a good laugh out of this since he ordered a spicy italian sandwich too!
 The rest of us enjoyed some Tim Hortons timbits and donuts!! Great start to the morning!

Niagara Falls! coolest day EVER!

 




 
Jake loves adventure with his family! There is no where he'd rather be then holding hands with his dad, kissing mommy, and laughing with his brothers! I love how Jake is growing into his own personality. He got easily tired and ran a bit of a fever on this vacation. Thankful he bounced right back into our Jman after good sleep and extra rest in the RV. He will always be my baby boy.





We loved going on Maid of the Mist wearing our blue ponchos and getting super close to the falls. Our smiles and sounds of excitement from the falls will always be with me!

We left in time to get back to our campsite to grill burgers and rest. It was nice to have the evening to spread out in our campsite, do some swimming and walk to the camp office for treats! It was also fun for Kyle and I to do some dreaming and brainstorming how we want to travel next summer with the boys during Kyle’s sabbatical.  We are loving this time as a family and look forward to more travel time together!


Drew was the great helper on this vacation. Always willing to do what needed to be done setting up chairs, getting food out, especially when asked.  We so enjoyed spending good quality time with him. We love his simple personality!

Getting better and getting ready to go home!

Hey There! We thank all of you so much for all of your prayer support through this entire process. Go sure had His hand in this from the beginning. Anna and Micah are both doing just great. Yesterday was a hard day for Anna, She was very tired and had a hard time as the Doctors began to take her off of some of the pain meds she was not feeling good. She began to get a high temp,but that was all taken care of by early in the night and she slept great. She will be again trying to get of the IV pain meds and move to pills, if this goes well today we will be on our way home to see Drew tomorrow. Anna and I are both really loving the calm personality that God gave to little Micah as we know the high energy that Drew has waiting for us at home. We can't wait to see his little smile again and hear all of his animal noises and cars sounds. It will be so great to see the way that God grows these two boys only 17 months apart. It will be crazy and great all at the same time. Pray ...

Big Bro Twin Cities Champion/Little Sis Big Woods 1/2 Marathon Champion

My brother and I are the crazy runners in our family! We took on the Twin Cities Marathon challenge on October 7th and trained like mad to get ready for the event. We began the morning feeling great and ready to take on the challenge before us, yet not knowing only one of us would finish. Ben was taking on his first marathon and was looking forward to finishing and enjoying this wild adventure! I however have done a few of these already and was aimed to kick some butt in the process. So, different goals, but the same idea in mind-lets run the race for Christ. The race did not go as planned for me. The weather was extremely hot and humid and it totally took over my body. All I can really remember is thinking, "Wow it is really hot and I am really sweating!" With little to drink I passed out at mile 10 of the marathon! My time at that point was 1 hour 7 minutes..... on track for an amazing marathon. Truly discouraged I attempted to get back in the race to pass out AGAIN at mil...

Lately  I have been asked by many- “Now that you’ve accomplished one of your biggest goals, what’s next??” and to be honest I have been really soaking up my 2:58:01 marathon accomplishment and feeling extremely grateful my body felt so strong and healthy for that race. I will never take for granted a healthy body… many of you know my journey has included some pretty tough injuries along the way. So first, I really haven’t hurried to find a “next goal” but have sat in awe and thankfulness. All that to say I am a goal kinda girl and love a good challenge. So on Jan 1, 2024 I signed up to race the Javelina Jundred with some of my greatest running buddies! It will be my 2nd 100miler and this time will be held in Arizona (not Iowa) where it will be very hot. My goal tho will be to have a blast with running friends and finish the race- different then a road race goal….  I really love a good challenge!!  easy trail runs have started….and at the perfect time when the wild flowers...
