Trout Lake Bible Camp

Hailey and her dear friends attended Trout Lake Bible camp up north for one week the final week before school began. They had an awesome experience and were blessed with wonderful counselors and cabin mates. The them there was "Arrows Up", remembering to keep their aim towards God even though we get pulled backwards time and time again.

Miedema Family Vacation

The Miedemas' totally outdid themselves this summer by: putting on a wedding, throwing a surprise 70th birthday party and taking a family vacation!

We booked a home overlooking the Mississippi River in historic Red Wing, MN and spent time on the river, hiking the bluffs, had family olympics, and games galore.

Vis Family Vacation in Cross Lake, MN

One our favorite things each year that we look forward to is spending a week in Cross Lake, MN with the Vis family. This year we were especially blessed by wonderful weather and calm water which resulted in endless fun at the beach and excellent fishing
