Since our last update, we have had the joy of experiencing winter in the middle of summer. We had 6 inches of snow. It was a winter wonder land. The bad side was it folded a lot of tree branches down. There for causing some power outages. The nice part about it all was the snow was gone by evening.

Before camp started, Jared and I went on a little camping trip with no kids. It was a nice break before the busy time of camp. It was a great time to take and enjoy the view and quiet time together.

Here is a spruce Hen on her eggs. She is very camouflage.

Camp is on its 3rd week with kids. It is very energetic around here now. We have a great group of summer staff. There is a lot of summer staff from Kansas and Michigan area. It is so much fun hearing how they heard and decided to come to Victory. There are always a few things that you could go to or that you have to do. Jared is busy with work team members helping out and vehicle demands. As a family we are thankful that for the most part Jared is home in the evenings.
