I drove into the city after work to have a dinner with friends and Andrew tonight thanks to my parents watching our kids!
Delicious food at Gallow Green

On to the next roof top bar

Cheers to the beautiful night!

My best friends came to visit from Hong Kong and California  so we met in the city and had a fun dinner at Salvation Taco.

Missed my girls!!

Each year our kids are getting taller and we are getting older. Love you guys!

My nephew went on a boat with the youth group.

Today was too windy, not ideal for paddle boarding but Chloe wanted to try anyway. Sure enough most of the paddle boarders including her got pushed very quickly to the shore within minutes. The crew came over to the beach pulling out paddle boards and canoes because they couldn’t bring the boards back to the dock where they started. But Chloe kept trying and trying to push herself.

She said, I can do this. Let me try again.

And she almost did! I was super impressed with her determination!

She got so close to the finish line but one very strong wind pushed her, making her not able to turn around.

She came back to the beach again and Andrew gladly carried her over back to the dock. 

Good for you for trying!!

Meanwhile back in front of our lodge, there was a sandcastle contest. 

More s’mores. 

Shane was just having the best time with his buddies.

Eating hotdogs like it’s his only chance…

Loving nights like this…

Feels so good to be back here at Camp of the Woods with our church family! Immediately upon arrival,  kids went off to meet their friends.

Kids got a room with three bunk beds.

Chloe had an overnight girl scout end-of-the-year party at a hotel nearby. They swam, got their nails done, ate pizza , stayed up really late chatting, slept, got up early, ate breakfast, and swam some more…

When I went to pick up Chloe at the hotel lobby the next day, everyone  was all quiet…because they were so dead tired. Haha. Lucky girls.

Shane’s last concert of the year! Great job!!

I got a text from Shane’s friend’s mom and it totally made my day at the office. Thanks for taking Shane and sending me these pictures! Love seeing them having so much fun together. 🙂
