-Our vacation this summer was renting a house on Crooked Lake in Angola, IN for a week. We brought down all the watercraft and the house was amazing. Enedina's family (17 yr old brother, Rodi, Nolbi, Ruth and Naomi) came out for the first day/night. They all had fun swimming in the lake and hanging out with us. On our second day, Caleb and Stephen were tubing and Caleb's left shoulder dislocated again. That day was scary and sad for everyone. Caleb had an ambulance ride to the local hospital. They got the shoulder back in under sedation, but then he had a bad reaction to the anesthesia drug and scared us for a couple hours. Caleb was discharged in a sling later that night. It was hard for Caleb and the rest of us to really enjoy the rest of our lake week, but there were some good times. My parents spent a couple days with us and Tim's family came for a couple days. The cousins fished and played in the lake non stop.
-Julia went with WO to volleyball camp at Calvin University for a couple evenings. The younger kids and I visited Richmond Park pool one afternoon while Julia was at Calvin.
-Lexi took swimming lessons thru Holland Rec. This is our last kid doing their last summer of swimming lessons. We've had kids in Holland Rec summer swimming lessons for about 10ish years now.
-Stephen, Lexi, Mrs. Shoemaker and myself saw Frozen. It was a great show!
-Nate and Isaac went backpacking with 7 other sophomore boys and their Dads. They went up to Manistee for a couple nights.
-Isaac had soccer camp and his Segment 2 for driver's training. Isaac worked full time for HC's outdoor crew this summer
-Caleb worked full time for HC's indoor crew. Thankfully they were able to find stuff for him to do after his shoulder injury. Caleb had to do physical therapy 3 times/week after the injury.
-Our friend, Carroll Thompson visited us as she was in town for a conference. We met her and her husband Bill when we lived in Charleston. Bill was the pastor of the church we went to and they were so welcoming to us, even though they knew we would only live there for 6 months. It was nice to catch up with Carroll again.
-My coworker, Tiffani got married and it was nice to see some of my Pine Creek crew again.
-I went to the Poconos for a couple days to get together with my high school friends
-We celebrated the Shoemakers 50th wedding anniversary. We are grateful for their presence in our lives.
-Stephen went to Camp Roger with his friend Patrick. They did the 4 night stay and had many stories afterwards.
-Lexi has primarily lived outside and with the neighbor kids all summer, she is in her happy place.
