w.v. vacation and fundraiser.

Hey Folks!!!
It seems like a long time since I blogged. Life has been really busy around here...we've had different things going and lots of vacations! So be prepared for a big post and lots of pictures :)


• first off was the cabin with the Martin family. I don't have pictures except a selfie with Heidi and my pen pal from Maine who spent  Friday night with us. It was a blast though!! That was June 24-26.

  

  Sorry about the bad quality, but Heidi is an awesome cousin and I am glad for the little time we get to spend together :)

• July 10-13 found us in West Virginia with the Sauder family. Since I don't have any cousins my age, I took Maria (cousin on Martin side) with and we had a double blast. We got to ski, swim A LOT, rope swing into the water  and hang out with my amazing family. Chad & Jo are home on furlough for 10 weeks (They are currently having a layover in China, on their way back =( ), so that was especially fun to have them there and be able to spend time with them. Oh and did I mention, we go to a cabin by a HUGE lake right which is right by a big power plant. The power plant uses the water to run its huge plant, so therefore the water is warm. Where we swim at the dock, it isn't bath tub water, but believe me, it feels just pretty good, really good if it is chilly outside! One night we swam very close to the place where the hot water comes out of the plant, and that was like a hot tub. You almost couldn't be in it long or you would feel funny. It sure felt good though!!!

• We came home and then it was the fundraiser for Chad & Jo. We planned a car, truck, motorcycle show to raise money for them. It was held here on our farm and everything went amazing. We raised a huge sum of money for them and overall, everything went very smoothly!
