4th of July

 We celebrated the 4th of July with Jeff's family in Elkhart.  It was such a fun weekend with everyone.  These cousins love being together.
 The three boys (age 10-13) slept in this tent a few nights.  They set it up themselves and also built campfires at night.  It was neat to see them tromping around the woods, being adventurous together.
 The guys went on a canoe trip one afternoon. While they splashed in the water and tipped a canoe,
 the ladies were in the woods having a tea party!  Jeff thinks the neighbors might have been watching us out their windows...  :) 
 It's always a special time of sharing, praying together, and eating sweet treats.  I'm glad for Emma to get to experience this with these women-cousins, aunts, grandma, and great-grandma.

 Since the weather was nice, we played out in the creek a lot-canoeing, tubing, and splashing. I liked seeing Emma laughing as she tubed down the creek with Aunt Melissa.

We are thankful for the family God has given us!
