John's Trip to Picture Rock

August 8-11, 2012 John traveled with friends, family to upper peninsula of Michigan, Picture Rock on the shores of Lake Superior.  

3 days, hiking, spending nights in a tent, carrying everything in his backpack.  Eating yummy camp food!  NO flush toilets.  Filtering lake water to drink.  

At night going to sleep hearing the sounds of the water;  no other sounds, no cars, sirens, just nature.

Walking along the trail, day 2-3, 200 feet above Lake Superior.  Within 6 feet of the edge.

John took all these photos with his phone.  

A Weekend of SoccerTournament

Busy Soccer Wkend - 2 games on Saturday, 1 game on Sunday for Victor with the Rangers team;  Sunday evening soccer training with the Rangers for both RJ and Victor.  What fun! What tired and cranky boys!   

Birthday Boy - 12years !!!

Hard to believe Victor turned 12 on Wed..  He wasn't to thrilled that his birthday fell on the first day of school.  But he survived.

Olive Garden - the seafood alfredo, breadsticks are his favorite.  

  What good looking boys!  

For his birthday Vic took in 3 dozen glazed yummies for his class.  

School is starting out well:  he has a new principal, a new bible teacher, a new algebra teacher, a new gym teacher a new spanish teacher, a favorite english, a favorite science teacher back!
