Hmmmm, where to go!

With classes around the corner we thought it would be nice to travel around and see some of beautiful Ontario before the busy schedules start.

We got up on Saturday morning and with our map in hand we headed out.

Our first stop was to see Ingils Falls.

We had to stop at the Dairy Queen because it made us think our good friends back in the States.

Then on to Wiarton to see Wiarton Willy...{like Puxatony Phil back in the States} Doesn't Jake look thrilled to be sitting next to a giant, stone groundhog? :)

We stopped for a late lunch at this little Fish and Chips place...mmmmm Jen's favorite!

We headed West to Lake Huron, it's always beautiful there. We went to Sauble Beach and really wished we had our suits. It was finally a nice warm day...perfect for a swim. We found some go-carts in town and the guys raced instead.

We thought we'd see a movie but those playing were questionable so the money we would have spent on the movie we found a used Mario Cart for our Wii and went home and played that.

Bill started all day P.T.C. this week and we are already beginning to see the new students coming in for training. It's quite exciting to see and hear their testimonies and how God worked in their lives to bring them here.

Summer Break!

We had a nice break back in New York. It was good to be able to catch up with some of you and apologize for those of you we missed. Time flies when you're having fun. We were able to rest comfortably thanks to Jen's parents who housed us.

And even though it rained a lot Jen was able to enjoy one sunset with her sister, Michelle.

and she got her haircut together with her older sisters, Michelle at the top and Chris on the right.

The chef at the Ramada Inn made Jen's vacation special when he made especially for her a Tropical Coconut Shrimp Salad...mmmmm her favorite! Thanks Beetle!

Bill ended his summer break with a 250+ mile motorcycle ride with his cousin Les, friend Roe, Les' friend Doug.

Here's Roe, Bill and Les
