On Monday evening we got home from the bike trip. We had a wonderful time and we thank God that we made it all the way safely. There were only four or five bike crashes and no one was hurt very bad.

Here's some pictures of before we left the church.

Me and Anne very exited :)

Indiana

We had a wonderful time in Indiana the last four days. God gave everyone safe travel there and back and a wonderful time with friends.
On Wednesday my family went to Metamora Indiana, a small old town that is now a bunch of little shops and places to eat. As well as a coffee shop with the best cappucinnos on this side of the Atlantic. :)

We rode in a canal boat pulled by horses, there was a grist mill which was very interesting and much more.

In the evening the Pittengers, Lansberrys, Aringtons, Pyles, Driggers, and a few others arrived.

Here's some pictures...

On Thursday everyone went to the Creation Museum. The gardens there were beautiful and they had a nice little petting zoo. :) They did a really good job on everything in the museum. It's really neat to go through. We also had a great time just spending time with friends.

On Friday all the men had their meeting. That's why we all went. All us kids played games outside, played Apples to Apples (I won :)), went swimming and visited.

Well, we're home now and it's kinda good to be home.

Our July.

Just a quick up date. Last night we had Brian and Andrea and Alan and Melissa over for a cook out and some fire works. We didn't get any pictures. But we had a good time.
Today is one of those crazy days before you leave on a trip. With packing and everything that goes into it. Tomorrow we're leaving for Indiana! We're exited and hope to have a blast! :D
When we get home from that we will right away start getting ready for the bike trip. For those of you who don't know. The Bike Trip is something our church has every year in July for 36 years now. Anyone who wants to can bike over 300 miles to church camp in Indiana. It's hard, but so much fun and very rewarding. This will be my first year on the Bike Trip. I worked as a cook along side my parents for five years.Thankfully we're not staying for church camp. We will be getting into a bus and driving home about an hour after we arrive there. :)
My wonderful parents will be going along to help cook our meals for us along the way. Along with Trenton, Amanda and some other good friends of ours from church. So please pray for all the bikers that we would make it safely to Indiana without trouble. So far there is over 50 people biking and there is always something that could go wrong. And also please pray for the our wonderful cooks. It is VERY hard cooking for that many hungry people and I think they have the biggest job of all.
So, until later,
His Always,

Suzanne
