What would we do without cameras anymore?
A bit cold
"Do I really want to get in that cold water? Yes it is so worth it!"
"Hey Mom can I get in to?!"

In they go

"Do you know the Lord as your personal Savior?" "Yes"
Following the Lord
In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
In the likeness of His Resurrection

Over flowing with JOY!
Hannah's turn! I can not even say how much it means to me to see two more of my friends follow the Lord, and be willing to show others that they know and Love Him!
Up she comes!
Little dizzy from the fast up and down

Back we go to the main land
The wet two. Josh and Lora thought they would go for a bike ride around the Island, it's about a hour and a half to go around. They had a lot of fun, they just ended up getting a little wet, seeing as it started to down pour when they left. =~] Oh Well, they said it was fun anyways. :)
Mr. and Mrs. Smith
Mrs. Shepherd, and Mom
I am sorry that I didn't say much about any of these but it took a long time as it was. I am going to have to work on making post that are not so LONG, that way maybe I would have more post. :)
Hope you enjoyed!
