#Hartz2020 Week 27

A little bit of what we have been up to June 29-July 5...

On the road to Pine Lake State Park in Iowa to meet my parents for camping.

Ready for some new adventures!

The whole crew

Dad and me

The hills were no jokes on the bike trails, my thighs were burning.

Lots of fish were caught off this pier

Jackson hurt himself pretty bad playing Bootle Bash. He was running to catch the frisbee and didn’t see the fire pit with grill grates. While Brian and I were cleaning him up, I looked up to see Kate on her knees praying for Jackson!❤️

Good monring!

Always in Papa's lap!

Big catch!

The boys couldn't get enough fishing!

So many beautiful sights at the park.

Fishing of course

Hiking time


Kate conqured the hike.

Jackson and I did a lot of bike riding and exploring. 

Brian and I found a waterfall on our hike!

We had a great camping trip with my family. Glad they met us in Iowa!
From Iowa we drove to Missouri to see Brian's family. Uncle Llyod taught Jackson to shoot his first shot gun. 

Papa Mel and Lincoln

Brian's big catch

My niece Lucy and me

These boys had so much fun with their cousins. I made them stop for a picture with me.:)
Uncle Llyod knows how to make boys smile!
Grandma Sharon, Lucy, and Lincoln
Leo and Jackson
Happy 4th of July!
Zipline time!!
Lincoln's favorite thing to do at the camp!
Lucy wanted to ride with Jackson at first. 
Jackson loved playing 9 square.
Some bottle bash in a wide open field.

We had a great time spending time with family and loved the fellowship, communion, and worship time together. 

#Hartz2020 Week 26

A little bit of what we have been up to June 22-28...

I’ve had to step up my “fun mom” gig😉 while Dad has been recovering so I’ve been racing these two in the pool and giving them challenges to complete!
🙌🙌🙌Brian was able to get his stitches out today and preliminary results look clear! Praise God!

They still love sleeping together!

Headed out on our #HartzRoadTrip20, made it to Witcha to spend the night with Brian's uncle.

We had fun playing yard croquet. Jackson wasn't thrilled about having his mom on his team, but ask him about my awesome shots!

On the road again...to Fort Dodge, IA.

We spent 3 days hanging out with Brian's college roommate and his family.
We loved hiking and exploring Dolliver State Park.




Swimming in the creek by their house

The boys enjoyed some disc golfing.

Always such a great time with the Thompsons. Highlights were playing Deer in the Headlights and the Newlywed Game! :)
