Day 4 RV trip!

Saturday
Lake Ontario, only 6 miles from our camp site.We left our site by 8a to go for another morning swim.   Micah and Caleb slept in a tent last night! Waking up today was a bit tough after a full day in Niagara falls, took us some time to wake up. Before we knew it, we were waking up quickly at Lake Ontario.

 Lake Ontario #3 Great Lake. The warmest lake yet!!! The guys are so brave to get right in. They enjoyed riding the waves this morning! 🌊 and we could hear them laughing and shouting for joy as they jumped the waves and played in the water. Greatest sound in the whole world! It was a wonderful morning watching them wake up and play together! I think they are the greatest boys.❤️
 Such fun photos of the guys!!!

 Caleb is my sweetest boy. I smile at all he says and does. He loves life and loves his family. We had fun playing card games with him in the RV and hearing all he had to say about our adventures! I love how he holds my hand along the beaches and loves looking for rocks and swimming in the great lakes. He lives in the moment. Blessed.

Back on the road again.
 The boys were thrilled that we were having walking tacos for lunch! We had just finished up some travel time and stopped at Lake Erie to eat lunch and swim at the beach. Everyone was holding up really well!
*Playing bingo in the RV was a real trick with all the bouncing and turns/stops, but we managed one bingo! We decided to start giving out our prizes in the other games we played because it was too hard to play. 
 Making walking tacos in the RV! Whoop!
 Picnic lunch at Lake Erie before swimming!

Lake Erie #4 Great Lake. Beautiful sandy beach and the weather was perfect! The boys of course got right in!
 I loved watching my dad explore the beaches looking for rocks and soaking it all in. I could tell it was a fast trip for him. He enjoys slowing things down much more but he was a trooper on this vacation. I love that my dad enjoys spending time with me and all my boys and Kyle. Thankful for our relationship. In so many ways I see myself in him. I love when he gave me hugs throughout the trip to remind me how much he loves me. 

This trip was so much fun for US! I love that Kyle enjoys adventure and he is our leader. He did such a great job navigating us around to places we've never been to. Not an easy job! The boys adore their dad and love how much fun he is! I love that Kyle makes us all feel safe and can make any place feel fun and inviting! So blessed God wanted me to share life with this man. 

 Heading back to the RV to drive to Hanna, Indiana!
 Racko was a hit on this trip!
 Bubba's Pizza for Supper! Great place named after our Caleb "Bubba" which we thought was a perfect place to stop for supper! He was so happy.
 Dopey Dough was their famous appetizer that they raved about so we gave it a try! Most of us said, "Awesome!!" a few of us wanted some marinara sauce to dip them in. Overall, very good!
The pizza was incredibly delicious! We would totally come back someday!!
 
After another full day for us, we pulled into our final RV campsite and were overwhelmed by all the activities and kind people! We found our site and got ready for the golf cart parade!! It was so much fun and we got so much candy! The boys decided to also go swimming before bed and enjoyed the whole pool to themselves before crashing after another full day.

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

Image
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

Wolf River White Water Rafting Youth Trip!

Image
We were able to start the tradition of taking the International Falls youth to the great Wolf River. We took a great group of kids who did not know what to expect and drove the 10 hours to the river. We spend 2 days rafting and then hit the road for home. The students and leaders had a great time navigating the rapids themselves, flipping a boat or two and of course the water falls were a huge hit. U had the opportunity to sit down at the camp fire and one day in our boat with some of the students who do not regularly come to our ministry and talk about the relationship with Christ. These discussions where by far the highlight of my trip, getting to encourage students in their faith and hear the testimony about how they came to know the Lord was just awesome. Our first night it rained more than i have ever seen, and most of our tents stayed dry. But our two days on the river could not have been any better bright sun and 85 or so which is really hot for us from the far north. We had on
