Camping Trip July 2017

Last summer we camped in July as well but it was at Long Pine.  This year we went to Ogallala NE.  We camped down below Big Mac at the little lake but went up to Big Mac for sand and water play.  The fishing was terrible which was very disappointing to the guys...

Lake Ogallala 


Two favorite things when we camp:  Our hammocks and our Kayaks

This is the one who does all the hard work so we can take a week off and soak up the sand and sun and water. 

Ah!  Take me back......



They kayaked away and fished for a whole morning.  Jeanie and I loved the quiet and hammocks and a little drive up to the general store and one of the little bays on the south side. 


The sun and rocks and water and Jeanie and I taking feet pictures.  She held still for this long. 


Us. 

We found a little bay to kayak and fish in and crevices to climb up into.


This is extremely cool I think.  

The cool clean water and my water scared baby.  She hates water.  We kept working on this....


We jumped in and swam here more than once.  I would go back every day if I could.


Saturday Evening we went into town for Pizza with our exhausted cherubs.  


And then stopped at the observation point at the top of the dam a little after sunset. 



The things little girls collect in their chubby hands as treasures.  The boys collected cars and tractors .....

Your camping trip looks like a dream! We had a chance to kayak too this year (using someone else's) and I think it would be fun to have our own....

In My Worship Place

Last time I posted I mentioned being in a quiet spot.      It's curious to me how one can be in a quiet spot internally but super busy externally and then be in a quiet season externally but Internally be in a season of seeking and crying and lonely.      Zerrick and Susanna's reception in our yard is over and my many siblings showing up for us was a cherry on top.   It felt like a relaxed good reception and I spent most of it watching people and listening in on little groups of chatter.      And then the twelve hours with my siblings on Saturday.  God worked it out so I could have tiny little snitches of chat that I could be assured that I got the most of the gift of them even being here.        We all stood around and prayed and cried and sobbed together for a short time before Bruce's left.  Healing.  I still feel emotional about it.  And now it's qu...

A few things...

Okay, I have a whole pile of pictures I'm going to post one of these days. In the mean time....a few more questions to add to my last post.... 1. What do people mean when they say things like, " He/she spoke peace/ blessing/ love/truth or whatever into my heart? How does one get truth spoke into ones heart by another person? Okay, now I expect to hear someone defend themselves for saying this or else clarify to me why it sounds so off the wall......no reading this w/out some input! 2. What else? I was asking about what does it mean to have deeper relationship w/ God. So everyone said ya that's a good thing to desire. Here's my thought. You either have a relationship w/ God or you don't. So then who decides if it's a deeper relationship than....see how can you know? Can you compare? That won't work because God doesn't work like that....putting us on brackets of who is most spiritual. The only way you can use the term in having a deeper relationship w/ Go...

Happy Birthday Keagan

Keagan turned three while we were in Idaho. So we made a cake and celebrated with the Skrivseth cousins this year. He was enthralled watching me make the cake. Had to have his little hand on that hat! gazing in adoration at it. Just about ready to blow those candles. He kept telling me that we couldn't sing Happy Birthday though. He's easily embarrassed! Silly guy! I rather like my little three year.
