Schedule

Some of you have asked us where we will go when we head out full time, so since we finally have some "plans" we thought we would share them with you. However, remember, these are our "plans" and are not set in stone because we will need to be open to wherever the Lord leads us.
Soon we will go on a vacation to the beach! We need some rest and a time of refreshing after having packed and moved for months now. Then once Hunter and Christian are finished with their Civil Air Patrol encampment in Columbia, we will head north to Nashville and visit family. Our next stop will be Kentucky to see Mammoth Cave and the Creation Museum. We will then travel through Indiana and Illinois to get to La Crosse, Wisconsin where we plan to stay and view the scenery there again. We have been there, but the children have not and we think it is a beautiful place. It will be the first time they see the Mississippi River and the small ice fishing houses set up along the rivers and lakes. Then we plan to visit some friends who are also RVing full time who live in Minnesota. It will be great to see them! Then we'll be off to South Dakota to Sioux City, Sioux Falls, Corn Palace and Mt. Rushmore. Then off to North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming and Idaho. We plan to stay as long as possible at Yellowstone. We also want to see the Lava fields, formed from a volcano, in Idaho and the Hot Springs, Oregon Trail and California Trail! We also hope to work (minister) with the Native Americans in Arizona towards the end of this trip before we head back east.

After having packed for almost 15 days straight, with a few rests inbetween of course, we took a short break and camped at Lake Hartwell State Park. Here are some of our photos!
Hunter went exploring in the woods and found a Kingfisher!
He's got a lot more of God's creation to explore and discover, doesn't he!

Christian snorkling! It was kind of like the coral reefs, well,
with the exception of the exotic fish and reefs! Ha! Well, it was awesome anyway because the rocks jetted out into the amazingly clear waters and there were fish all around.
Bass, brim and sunfish. They were able to touch them!
They would swim up close and swim between
their hands. They loved it!

Faith having fun in the clear lake water.

Hunter got this photo of a tree that has been visited often by a woodpecker!

Please keep checking in because our photos and adventures are going to get a lot more interesting!! Be blessed!
