Deuteronomy 6:4-9

Listen, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are are at home and when you are on the road, when your are going to bed and when your are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Summer Vacation Part 1

Well we’ve finally reached a place with WI-FI, giving me a chance to update the good old information highway in my little life!  So we started off on Thursday, June 17th, with camper in tow, and ended up at Brown County State Park in Nashville, Indiana.  For those of you265 who are not familiar with the layout of our state, that would be about 1 hour or so south of Indianapolis.

 

This particular park boasts over 15,000 acres, and includes hiking, biking, camping, fishing, and more.

Now, before I start with the photos, I want to warn you that I took over 500 pictures during the 3 day stay at Brown County…so I’ll do my best to pick only my favorites:)  But they say, a pictures worth 1,000 words…so I’ll let my pictures do the talking.

Site 414 was our “home” for three days.

The crew decided to climb to the top of and old fire tower…I on the other hand opted to watch from below…it was a long way up and I don’t care much for heights.

We headed to Ogle Lake to try our hands at fishing.  There were a lot of little hands willing to give it a try.

These little dragonflies kept landing on the poles, I finally caught a picture of one.

We finally caught a fish!  A decent sized catfish I might add…we let him go after everyone got a good look at him.

A few shots of some of my favorite subjects…Harrison informed me that that was the last one I was allowed to take of him.

Of course we had to take a break on the playground before heading back to camp.  Jackson decided to create his own playground attraction…as most boys do.

Holland quickly followed suit…

  5. Meg - we faired the storms very well...although I prayed through them that is for sure! I lay awake that night praying until I thought it had past (it was a loud one...especially in a camper), then I awoke a couple hours later and prayed through it again!

    Christine - thanks for all the photo tips before my trip, I've been having a ton of fun with my camera thanks to you:)

    Linda - look forward to returning to volleyball when we get back!
