-We stayed home 4th of July weekend as kids were getting back from camp. It was a little rainy the evening of fireworks, so we couldn't take the boat out. But Nate and a couple of the kids watched from Kollen Park. We had Enedina's family over on the 4th.

-Caleb had a very long trip home from CO. They rode the train back and had a 4 hr delay in the station. Then they got on the train, something broke and they were delayed on the train for another 4 hours. They got into Chicago very late and had to rent a bus back to Holland. But, Caleb had a great time on the trip.

-Stephen had his friends Andrew, Patrick and Graham over for a boating and sleepover and video games night. 

-Julia participated in Holland Rec's summer volleyball program. She had practice one evening a week and then a game once a week. 

-Isaac participated in HC's soccer camp

-Stacy went to Wheaton for a cousin's baby shower. It was good to catch up with family for a couple of hours.

-Nate took Isaac, Julia, Stephen and Lexi backpacking in Nordhouse Dunes

-We went camping at Van Buren State Park for 2 nights. We had amazing weather. We relaxed at the campsite, spent time at the beach, and walked downtown South Haven. We always enjoy getting back to South Haven.
