Summer Vacation 2013

Our Family Vacation this year started with a drive to Muskegon MI, then to MN for a short stop at Grampa Rod & Gramma Pam's, then Tim headed to Lake Beauty Bible Camp to speak for the week, and Maria joined him with the kids mid-week, then home.  A great 2 weeks filled with some great family memories!!

Caleb, not afraid of the climbing wall/zipline

If you can't tell from his face, he opted out of climbing - I was shocked

We got a personal horse back ride

Caleb loved it

Josiah LOVED it

First time horse back riding?

We were glad we had our bikes, LBBC has tons of property
