Mini Golfing....

Sunday morning slept in, ate at the breakfast bar, pool/hot tub, took a nap, all before noon! We played a round of mini golf, at a near by course, then off to Lake Ann Camp.

Lake Ann is about 30 minutes West of Traverse City. Tyler drove up, so we would have his vehicle there, in case he wanted to come home on a week-end. He is on the cleaning crew. He will be doing a lot of vacuuming, moping, toilets.... We were able to meet with his boss, Doug Miller and the dorm-type parents, Tom and Dana. They all seem like great people. This will no doubt be a life changing summer for him. He will be much more independent when he arrives back in August. He will grow spiritually by leaps and bounds! I'm so excited for him and his future....the man he is becoming! Did I just call him a man?? WHOA!!

We were also able to show Troy around, as he is gonna be a camper for the first time this year! I think he is even kinda of excited about going...not that he would admit it! We looked at the boys cabins, new dining hall, new chapel, beach.... a lot has changed since I was a camper many years ago! Like paved paths....it used to be dirt and tree roots galore! It is very very nice.

I was so proud of myself, I didn't even shed a tear when we said good bye to Tyler...I'm so tearing up now though.
