3CA Convention

At the end of November I went to Phildelphia for a Christian Camping and Confrence Association (3CA) Convention. Rick, Pat, and Nanci Jo were also there from Echo Ranch. Nanci Jo and I shared a room in the nice Marriott Hotel. It was a great time to learn about camping, see the city of Philly-including the Liberty Bell, and just reconnecting with friends.

Julian's First Birthday!

My nephew Julian just turned one this past weekend. There was a big party for him with a football theme. He received a lot of gifts and had fun opening them. I love spending as much time as I can with my little nephew. He is such a blessing. You may recall that Julian was born with a heart condition. He is doing great right now. He just has to go for check ups. We praise the Lord for that. Auntie Bonnie and Julian

Flying with Steve

My brother Steve took Caleb (my other brother) and myself up in a small aircraft. It was fun to fly over Valpraiso, Indiana. He even let me steer the plane for a short time. It was fun to be in the wide open sky. Now, he and Amy just need to fly up to Alaska!! That would be a long trip.
