Praying you are blessed also.

Walk in the woods

We enjoyed our visit at Au Sable, a Christian environmental studies center, and a walk with cousins and Oma and Opa. Beautiful!

Summer Adventures: Lake Michigan

Lots of fun swimming with cousins in (cold!!) Lake Michigan. We wondered why it seemed so cold and then they said Lake Superior just finished melting the last ice two weeks before! Maybe it was a bit cold!

Summer Adventures: Illinois

A great pleasure to visit our friends in their A-frame in the Illinois woods. Lots of fun to play with their kids... And some great food and fellowship as well... Thanks!!

3-D Printing at the Library

I think I probubly should have done this before because I got it more than a month ago,but I never really did. Anyway, at the library they have 3-D printing at the library so I found a really cool pattern on Tinkercad and decided I'd try it . This print was only about $3.00 and was really easy.

New Guinea Pig!!!

Today while our chickens where sitting out in the rain,we went to Petco (www.petco.com) to get a new guinea pig!! We were going to get two, but one was pretty old ,one was so scared she started squealing as soon as the employee picked her up , and one had ringworm. So they are going to send the one with ring worm to the vet and then call us when she's done so we can go pick her up.

We had a lot of fun decorating the outside of the cage.( Mom also cut heart-shaped windows.)

I think she was a little scared by the camera,but you can't blame her because she's still only a baby ,just a few months old.I named her Ice.

This is the inside of the house. She has two rooms :one light and one dark (for sleeping).

Ice even has a door to get from one room to another.

Long Time!!!

It's been the longest time since I've written on this blog. We didn't bring our computer on the trip,which is part of it but also because we just never get around to it.So here are some pictures from our very first stop on our trip.
