I am still figuring out how to post photos from my cell phone, but I do have some from my camera. The first week of this trip was life as usual for me and the grandkids--Library (Val finished first in a hula hoop contest- along with many others --after a LONG time- what 75 minutes?), swimming. biking, church and alot of dancing and singing. Meanwhile Jim, with Val's help built a storage shed or as Jim calls it Le Chateaux. For a long weekend we took the drive to the UP (upper peninsula) to Mackinac Island. We stayed in Mackinac City and took a ferry to the Island. There are no cars,only horse drawn carriages and alot of bikes. We biked clear around the island and had a blast. It was one of my fav trips --EVER. Why--family. fun, food, alot of biking and swimming and alot o LOVE
Under the care of Val and Jason , we rent a cabin at a Koa in Carbondale Colorado. Not knowing what we were getting into, except that we would be sharing time and love with Val and family and Karina and her 4 younger kids. We went biking everyday on a beautiful trail looking at Crystal River and the high mountains of Colorado. We went hiking with the kids , where we saw love and kindness as they helped each other. In the evening we roasted marshmallows, had skits, and played spoons. It was beautiful and clean and fun to have more time with family. I love being with the kids and seeing how their children are progressing, in the gospel and love
