Going fast......it is windy!

Cade & McKayla on are on the raft behind the boat. Before the ride was over McKayla, age 5, was flipped into the middle of the lake. It didn't seem to bother her for a minute! You can tell she has done that before. ( :

Steve & Jean, friends from St. Cloud, came to spend the day. They moved to GA in 1975 when we moved and we became best friends. 34 years later we still have fun getting together and laughing a the same old stories. Our kids know we are crazy! What fun!!

An instant friend!!

We all went to Randy and Rosie's house for the afternoon. It was our first chance to see Randy & Rosie and also time to play with the puppies.

Puppies, puppies everywhere!

That Aunt Jodi really gets the pictures!!

I had a chance to visit with old classmates from high school.

Bonny, Carole, Arla

How fun to renew acquaintances every time I go to MN!! We grew up in the same school for 12 years. It makes me sad that our kids will not have the opportunity to experience these early childhood relationships that last a life time.

It truely is something to treasure!

Arla's dad, Red, was my Dad's best friend his entire life time. There are pictures of them in the memory book from high school and through the years. Amazing!

So life goes on.......and Pastor Shane will move on to his next church in Iowa in July.
