Staying Cool?
Oh, the lazy days of summer, no, it’s the busy, hot days of summer around here. Today we’re off to a swimming hole and packing along a picnic lunch where we’ll get to cool off a little from this heat. I won’t be around much this week. Heading to our homeschool convention on Friday and so looking forward to it. But we’re also having a celebration while we’re there. Wesley will be graduating from the 8th grade and going through the ceremony they have at our convention. After the graduation we’re having a get together in our hotel suite where I’ll have some good things to eat. My 3rd child to…

The Final Post on our Ohio Trip – Camp Activities
This is it; the final post chronicling our trip to Ohio. At this youth camp they have activities for all ages. During their craft class even Audrey and Justus were able to participate. This class made wooden paddle wheel boats one day and the next they raced them in a little swimming pool. I promise. I did not make Audrey go to this class.

They had a cake decorating class for the girls that were interested and a sewing class and the boys had an opportunity to learn…

The real hitch in the trip was Seth’s new truck. The transmission went out before we were half-way and all he had left of his standard transmission was 4th gear. There were times the guys had to do this… but that was only part of…

A Summer in Ohio
Tomorrow we head out to a church youth camp taking others, as well as our family to Ohio. One thing will be different this time. Seth will be following us in his (new to him) truck and then staying on until the end of August or till sometime in September. He was offered a job there for the summer putting on metal roofs. He’s really looking forward to his time there, his bags are packed and just this weekend he bought his first ever vehicle. He’s now the proud owner of a little Mazda 4×4, for all of $2,200, purchased with 4-H money. At church this weekend, all the men gathered round…
