Vacation out West

We took a two week trip by car (Steve flew) with my sisters and mom to Kansas and Colorado.
First we stopped in Goodland Kansas to visit with my Grandpa. On the car ride out I told Abbie that we would be visiting her great Grandpa. She looked at me with wide eyes and said Big pop pop. So during the whole visit Abbie called him Big Pop pop.
We enjoyed our time in Kansas. We got to ride on a very old carousel, go swimming, and go to the local fair and parade. It was great to spend time with my Grandpa.

Then we traveled on to Denver Colorado to visit with my Grandma and Grandpa. We had a good week in Colorado. We took advantage of all of the beautiful parks in the area. Abbie loved hanging out with her Great Grandmom and Great Grandpa and her Uncle Joel, Aunt Stacy, Aunt Marci, and Grandma and Grandpa. During our visit we visited with lots of extended family, went bowling, played at the park, visited Tiny Town and White Fence Farm. The only disappointment of the week was Thursday. We were suppose to visit Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak. However the weather was awful so we opted for indoor activities.
One day we visited Tiny Town, CO. Abbie had a blast. There was a train we could ride and lots of many houses to explore.


She loved looking in the windows of the houses. Also, there were houses you could climb in.
Abbie's favorite part was the train. Each time it went by she would wave and yell out "Hi Train".





Delanco Camp Junior High I


We went to Delanco Camp in NJ for a week of camp. Steve and some of our highschool students led praise and worship for the week. Abbie had a blast hanging out with all of the teens! She loves camp. Steve and I enjoyed getting to know so many campers and catching up with old friends.
