Beautiful Michigan!

The weekend after July 4th, we took a mini road trip to see our dear friends, The Schnells in North East Michigan. They have a 2 cabins on a lake in a beautiful tranquil setting. This is the 3rd time we have been here, as the Schnells are our good friends from when we were in Seminary near Boston. The drive was significantly shorter and since we are now ' veteran' roadtrippers, we left at 4.30am and made it in 8 hours.

Soon after arriving you feel like you have slowed down a gear and start to thouroughly enjoy the restful pace.

We had such a fun time, seeking out the Amish, going to a new kind of church- Cafe Style, boating on and swimming in the lake and riding on a mini steam train. Our friends family has grown from 3 to 5 and we just loved meeting CJ their 17th month old, who is catching up with Jamie already! We can be ourselves with these friends, they have seen us in the good and the bad times and have loved us just the same.
