Adventurer Family Camp

Camping.  In perfect weather.  In my dry snug tent.  It was nice and I was warm.  That's how camping should be.

We did have lots of fun this weekend with the Adventurer families.  We cooked over a fire.  We learned spiritual lessons.  We spend lots of time outdoors.  We learned about nature.  We played games.  We chatted.  

It was fun.

Indiana State Capitol Tour

We learned a little about Indiana government and state history a while back.  We tagged along with some friends on their tour of the capitol and enjoyed a great government class.  

Door to Door

Magabooks.  

They are good for sharing Jesus and for earning money!

It's so fun to hear them at the door talking with people.  They do a great job sharing Jesus and reciting what they have memorized.  The nice thing is that they have read all the books and cooked or eaten from the cookbook that we offer.

Children's Story Time

I can's say the boys really loved doing this.... :) ....but it was good for them.  I want them to be comfortable serving at church in lots of capacities and it's great to be able to speak up front.  They told a story about stewardship and did a great job together!

Preparing and Preserving

Bread for the freezer

Corn!  Finally able to put corn in the freezer again!

Spaghetti sauce for canning

Applesauce!!  Doing lots of applesauce this year!

Sleeping Bear Dunes

Another National Park trip before Dillon's 4th grade National Parks Pass expires...  :)  We had to be away for the weekend and some lovely friends took care of our kids.  On Sunday when we were done, we met them all at Sleeping Bear Dunes.  What a neat place!!  Lots of sand, lots of sun, lots of climbing, and lots of fun down by the beach!  Such a fun family day.

Indiana Dune National Lake Shore

 A fun family day at the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore and State Park. We hiked 7 miles through beautiful marsh lands, forest, beaches, and dunes. 1 hike of 4 completed for our pathfinder hiking honor!
