4th of July fun!






Friends and Family at LBBC!

For 29 years Marion and I have been going to 4th of July Family Camp at Lake Beauty Bible Camp. Our children have grown up knowing that the 4th is spent at LBBC. We have many memories and more memories in the making.

Over those 29 years we have made many friends at LBBC. One VERY SPECIAL family is the Ramberg family. Dean and Marlys brought their children to LBBC each year as we have. Now our children have grown up and they are bringing their children. Dean and Marlys' daughter Buffy (ok, it's Beth - but who knows her by Beth?!) is married to Don Steele and the Steele family is one very awesome family! Beth, Don, Ashley, Amanda, Alex, Eric and Thomas. Beth asked for some LBBC pictures on our Blog. Well here they are!

Beth always says "We love you guys!" That love is coming back at you and your family.

We love you guys!

We are looking forward to camping on Lake Mille Lacs with Stephen, Klair, Brienna and Conner and also our friends from Harris Covenant Church over the Labor Day weekend.

See you then!

Ayden's 4th Birthday!





Here are some pictures from Ayden's birthday party.

Summer 2007 is flying by!


We have had a wonderful summer. Right after school was out we had a week of "Fun In The Park" which is our church VBS. When VBS was over Marion and I left for Mille Lacs Lake for 10 days of eating, sleeping, and fishing. A couple of business associates of mine bought a resort on the lake and they are redoing it. They are not operating the resort right now for they are going to be rebuilding it and making it into seasonal camping site rentals. So, we had the resort to ourselves. We did some mowing, beach and lake clean up and put in 120 feet of dock. And, at the end of the dock it was only knee deep so more dock has to be put in.

After Mille Lacs I worked a couple of days and then we headed with our family (everyone but Mitch - The U.S. Navy thought he should stay and work, work, work, work, oh yeah!) to Lake Beauty Bible Camp for family camp. We had a fantastic time together!

After family camp I then worked a couple more days and then left for a week in Canada fishing. Our week of fishing was cut short for one of my best friends (Willie Vandorp who was with us) received word that his father died. So we cut the trip short and went home. We had some good fishing and it was good to get home, go to the funeral and even get a few things done around home.

Since returning it has been back to the routine. Emily, Ayden and Aubrey are here. They came on June 26th. They spend time with us and they also spend a lot of time at the Schueler farm. One of Ayden's favorite places. So favorite they had Ayden's 4th birthday party on the farm complete with a 90 degree (temperature) hayride! We had everyone on the rack. Even Great Grandma Grochow.

After Emily, Ayden and Aubrey leave Marion and I are hoping to go camping one more time before school starts again. Klair's sister is getting married in Bemidji and the week before that we are hoping to go camping near Lake Winnie for a few days or maybe even a week. I think we will be on Cut Foot Sioux.

Then the last week in August I am going fishing in the Northwest Angle for 3 days. When I return we are going camping over Labor Day weekend at the resort on Mille Lacs once again. We will be camping with Stephen and his family, and then 3 or 4 more other couples that we have made friends with at LBBC over the 29 years of LBBC family camps.

Didn't summers last longer as a child?!
