Camping Trip



This weekend we took Grace on her first camping trip up to Young State Park in Boyne City (near Petoskey). We were so happy that the weather held out, aside from a little storm Saturday night. We had such a good time and would have stayed longer if we could have; although, we really were missing Jackson.
(Jackson was spoiled by his grandmas and grandpas while we were away)

While we were up north, we went to The Big Ticket Festival in Gaylord on Saturday. I always enjoy going to festivals like this because I love the chance to hear someone new. We were very impressed with new (to us) artist, Betsy Walker. Half way through, Jordan and I turned to each other and said "She reminds me of Nicole Nordeman". She has a fresh, beautiful voice and honost lyrics that we really enjoyed.


The big name artists that we saw were Barlow Girl, Kutless and Toby Mac. Everyone was amazing, but Toby Mac was the most anticipated and definately the most fun! Since she was about two, Grace has loved to listen to Toby Mac in the car with Jordan, so this was a special night for the two of them.

Awww! Such sweet pictures. We are going to leave Si at Grandma's, too. Friday we head out for NJ where Tom is preaching at a week long camp. We'll spend all day Saturday with Grandma to break up that long drive a bit. Stopping by D.C. for a day on the way home. Am I ready?? Do you really think I've changed that much!!
