Family Vacation - Part 1

Four weeks ago (or so) we left on a trip that took us through Michigan for our church's international conference, through Indiana to visit dad's side of the family, and through Pennsylvania to see mom's side of the family. We were so excited to have Max and Jenny along with us as well. We were increadibly blessed through the whole trip and basked in the joy of spending time with friends and family who share a love for Christ and display that love in the way they live.

Since I don't have all the photos right now, I'll have to divide them into two different posts.
