We started the month off by enjoying the annual Holland Family Camping Trip at Lake Mitchell State Park in Cadillac. We opted for the cabin this year…no more tent camping for us! We enjoyed the weekend and the weather was great.
Alex participated in soccer camp and had a lot of fun. Three local churches put it on, so it was kind of like VBS that revolved around Jesus and soccer!

After a few years of looking for a camper, we finally found one! We had to drive downstate, but it was worth it. Now we can enjoy camping even more. We slept in our driveway the night we bought it.
After much anticipation, we went to see Disney’s “Planes” movie in Bellaire. The boys really enjoyed it and Dusty and Ripslinger toys were waiting for the boys when we got home.
We were able to spend an evening at Elk Lake at Grandpa and Grandma's friends' lake house.

| Yes Andrew is wearing a girl's life jacket. He had to borrow Promise's. That didn't stop him from loving the jet ski ride! |
Chanelle was asked to do the photography for a Sidewalk Prophets concert and had a lot of fun.
We wrapped up the month with a visit from Uncle Conrad and Aunt Connie. Chanelle had not seen them since 1996! We had a quick but nice visit. We took a day trip to the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes.
