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

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. :)

You are one brave girl, Bethany. I would never dream of posting that many pictures! I have a short attention span I think. I hate things that take a long time. Thanks for doing it though. I loved looking at the pictures. There were so many pictures I wanted to comment on but by the time I got to the end I forget which ones! I did look at the picture of Stephanie before I read the caption and think "Yikes! She has scary eyes!" Yea, how is that we managed to get so many strange pictures of us? Sometimes I look at all the goofy pictures people take of me and wonder if that is what I look like all the time. :)
The pictures of Mackinac are beautiful!! I am going there some day! (I hope) It looks so beautiful.
Enough commenting for now. It was a wonderful week. (at least the part of it I was there for. I will take your word that the rest was too!)

Looking at all the pictures tired me out again just thinking about all the stuff we did in one week. I think I'll take one of those "sabbaticals" so I can rest up for a while. Someday there remaineth a rest for the people of God. I know I rest in Christ now, but heaven will be a great time of resting with a whole new body that doesn't need any rest! WhoooHoo! -BT
