We got to Minneapolis safe and sound. Got a great night of sleep and on wednesday afternoon I took erika and hannah to visit my alma matter. It was a great time and all of us were REALLY IMPRESSED. 20 years made a LOT of changes. Here was Maddy, our tour guide, with the kids.
We stopped briefly at this little park in wisconsin. Here is the view from the bluff afer a nice climb. All the kids really wanted to do was get to MN and see the grandparents. The kids really are great travelers.
We left on tuesday at 5 am in the morning so we could get through Chicago.
We finally got to Valpo at about 4:30 am after a rather gruelling drive. Here monica is relaxing on Monday morning trying to recover. Cute legs! We spent the later afternoon at the beach on lake michigan. Very fun to be with my brother Harlan, wife Jenny and their son Soren.
After the great send off by the congregation we finally got off about 3 pm. At the first rest stop I decided the lawn looked like a beautiful bed. I lay down and felt a slight cool dampness. When I got up though everyone was laughing as my entire backside was a muddy mess. Had to change in the bathroom. Erica here holds the exhibit!
Buddies Erika and Carissa whoop it up on the plane ride home!
It is 3 pm and after a final goodby and prayer to bless Skip (who will be staying in alaska to do a bit more missions and a bit of vacationing) we are almost ready to leave. It was a great last day of VBS!
here erika is teaching the preschool.
The pastor guided us through the wonderful history of this congregation in Kenai going back over 150 years!
INcredibly this priest was educated at the orthodox seminary in South Canaan and his first parish was on Backman St. In Wilkes Barre!
A family in the church who supplies several of our students invited us out to their farm. Along with introducing us to their 28 Alpacas, here Hannah is Introducing us to Hunter, her spider. Amazing family!
