Dave and Joy came to Greenville after camp was over for the summer, so we got to take a trip down to the Lake and spend some relxing time with all the kids!

The girls spent the night at my sister's house and got to listen to her husband (Dave) tell about how he works with bears. They hadn't trapped any all summer but, lo and behold, Dave got a phone call in the morning telling him of a bear that was trapped not far from where we were staying!

In August, we went to Pennsylvania to see Sarah and my sister, Mary Lu. We went to the park with Sarah and Emery and had a wonderful time! Lydia rode most of the rides with Emery.

In July, Lydia was able to travel to Papua New Guinea with some very dear friends from our church. She is thankful for this wonderful opportunity to have visited a third world country and see a side of life that is so different from hers.
