We couldn't resist stopping to get a family pic by the Mighty Mac....okay, I couldn't and the rest just amused me!
I shot from the bridge...looking a little fridged...burhhhh!
We went to the John Rhodes Center to swim. They have a wonderful swimming area....it has 3 pools, a water slide, kids area, play toys, rafts, diving boards, rope swing and a hot tub area.
Tyler playing with a boat and Trent thinking he has gone crazy!
A special part of our trip was to see Craig and Kristi's Church, Bible Fellowship.
They purchased an old lodge and converted it into a church...not the traditional Baptist Church Building. In the lodges time it had skiing, held dances, had two bars, apartments, gun range...it was quite a happening place. It has 25,000 sq feet of space and they were able to pick it up for a meir 250,000! They had to put tons and tons of work into it, to make it what they needed. Kristi said they have used 135 gallons of paint thus far!
This is a picture of their sanctuary. It's a terrible picture..but it is sooo brite, I couldn't get a better one! In the center of the picture is a post with a cross...that is where Craig preaches at. Behind him are 6 huge picture windows that over look the valley.
This is a view from the parking lot side.
Here is the Buckner Family I speak of! They are a nice group of people.
We couldn't leave with out an 'Adults Only' meal! We loved the visit with C&K. We love to hear how God is using them in Canada to reach the the lost. All of our lives get so busy, we have a hard time keeping up! So it was all good.
And a special highlight....a Tim Horton Muffin....oh, not just any muffin...a Fruit Explosion. It's sitting there in all it's grandeur! Steve, you treat me like a queen!
Here is a potty stop on the way home...too much drinking.
We enjoyed a wonderful visit with one of the other Buckner families. They are great hosts and that Kristi!....is a hostess they never rests. Florin even gave us his room....thanks Florin.

I was doing great till the potty stop pictures!! Your kids are going to kill you someday!! Way to have something to blackmail them with for years to come.
I was wondering, too, how the boys felt about the 'potty stop' pic:) Good to see you brought Jaxie (sp?). How did she do?
I must tell all that Craig is what drew us to KCBC back in 1994. We were visiting the church for the first time, came in a little late so we didn't hear about Pastor Tom being away. We thought Craig was THEE pastor. We liked his teaching (and the friendly people) so we came back. When we found out he was the youth pastor that was okay because we knew our boys would be in the youth group someday under his teaching. I don't know if Craig reads this but, thanks Craig. Thank you for your faithfulness and for using your God given gift to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ.
That Potty stop Pic needs a comment but I'll just keep my mouth shut. When did Craig and Kristi move to Canada?
They moved there when they left Mackinac Island. I think they have been in S.S.Marie for around 7 years now!
