Going For A Swim

On these hot, humid, summer days a dip in the pond sure feels good!

"And then we had a signal. And when the... If the water was cold, we held up one finger, the first one in. Be careful coming in it's too cold. If it was good we held up two fingers; it was all right, jump in."

Videos From Bear Country

 




The baby bears at Bear Country U.S.A. were so adorable!  Your head was whipping in every direction trying to watch all the antics at once!  The wrestling matches were so funny!  I hope these videos give you a glimpse of how cute they all were.  Quite a few of us Sanger kids wanted a baby bear for a pet after seeing how cute and funny they were!  :)  Do you think Mommy and Daddy would let us get one?! :)

West Virginia

Five days after we arrived home from Canada we left for West Viriginia!
 Bro. Shrewsbery's church in Beaver, WV was having special meetings and Bro Billy Paul was going to be there!  The six and a half hour drive didn't seem long at all!  We were used to going for much longer stretches on the way home from Canada!  :)

Saturday morning Bro. Ron Lily spoke about Influence.
In the afternoon everyone was invited to the park for lunch and to fellowship a little more!

Saturday evening Bro. Billy Paul introduced the Message Be Certain Of God.
Bro. Shrewsbery said that Bro. Billy tapped him on the shoulder and said there was no need for a prayer line after that Message!  Bro. Billy had been having back pains but the Lord healed him!

Itasca State Park, MN & Bahnerville

Thursday evening we left Canada and headed for home...after driving through the night and most of Friday morning we arrived at Itasca State Park in Minnesota.  Sis. Holly had told us you can walk across the Mississippi River here!  There were quite a lot of people "walking" across the Mississippi since it was Fourth of July weekend, but we managed to get a picture!




We continued on through Friday night and Saturday afternoon we stopped to visit the Bahner family in Western PA.  We spent the night there and had church with them on Sunday morning.  
 The Mellema family also came over on Sunday.




Sunday afternoon we left "Bahnerville" and drove the last leg of the journey home.  After over 5,000 miles we praise the Lord for a safe and wonderful time!  Thanks to everyone who opened up their homes and hearts to our family.  Unpacking the van, laundry, mowing the yard, and weeding the gardens kept us busy for a few days!

Candle Lake

One day Bro. Lewis and Sis. Becky took us to Candle Lake. 
We all had fun on the water tubing and knee boarding!

On our way to Candle Lake this bull moose tried to run across the road in front of us!


Joshua and Israel decided to paddle around in the tube.

Hope got really good at knee boarding!

She was doing 360s!


Lillia got really good too!



Uh oh!  Joshua wrecked!

On the way back it started to pour down rain!
Great memories!  Thank you to Bro. Lewis and Sis. Becky for all your hospitality!
