Camp Forest Springs

Our family participated in a work weekend at Camp Forest Springs. The girls, Nathan, and Kevin did mostly raking.
They served us such wonderful meals! It was definitely a highlight of the trip. :)

Nathan and Kevin got to see some cool animals at a forest preserve near the camp.
Dad, Ryan and Stephen spent all day cutting down trees and hauling away the wood.
Afterward, we did a little sight-seeing around the Wisconsin area. It was a weekend to remember!

Worldview Conference

We attended the Midwest Regional Worldview Conference on April 16-17. It was held at Providence Church in Morton, Illinois. It was refreshing, encouraging, challenging, and FUN! We stayed at a cabin a few minutes from Providence Church. Above is a picture of the cabin we stayed at.

Eating lunch one day at the conference.

Great job, Michelle!

Today, Michelle passed her first CLEP test for CollegePlus! She received credit for Analyzing and Interpreting Literature.

Way to go, Michelle!
