We had such a cold wet snowy spring (snow in May??!) that summer is much appreciated this year. We kind of got some spring like weather in summer too, but we will take what we can get for warmth. School is out and Noah has been enjoying a more relaxed pace. Not our typical summer, no beach days yet even.
Sam is moving, so the boys spent some time together at the start while they could still ride bikes between houses etc. they are still in town (staying at a friends' house) til Aug so I am sure there will be more fun days.
Noah had his first #3 talk on 6/18. Another nice spiritual milestone. He did do well. Lots of beaming faces in the audience.
We are gearing up for a vacation week next week, so that will be refreshing. Staying in MN but not exactly a "staycation" either. After service Saturday we are driving to Duluth for an overnight at The Edge water park/hotel, then onto Lutsen for 4 nights to chillax in the "mountains" by Lake Superior. We stayed there a couple if years ago and loved it. I am sure there will be lots of pics to post from there. Then 2 days at ValleyFair so we can take our time and do what we want without cramming. It will go fast I am sure, but looking forward to family time.
Some random shots of fun times so far. Stay tuned for more...
