Another Adventure in Summer Camping

Alexander Goes to the Farm
Oh My! What a day of fun! This weekend when Grandma and Grandpa came down for a bit ‘o visit, we were all in for a treat. We had thought about heading to the petting farm on Sabbath, but weather, (and baby) wasn’t quite so cooperative. And so it worked Continue Reading
