I love making jam with my family. This year was the first time I didn’t have to do every step. It is so much more fun when their help really counts. We did two and half flats of strawberries this year! Excited to have those on peanut butter sandwiches, pancakes, and/or just by the spoonful! (Shhhh…don’t tell my kids 🙂
Love these teaching moments with my kids!

Our children received kayaks for Christmas. They got to try them out for the first time in June! They loved them! It was so fun to see how quickly learned how to maneuver through the water with them. I hope they see God’s creations in a different way on with these kayaks.

June 8th to June 12th we took a family lake trip to Northern Minnesota to Ox Lake. It was a great week with my parents and my brother. We had two boats for the whole week. A little fishing boat and then a canoe. We also rented a pontoon boat complete with a tour guide for one day! We caught a lot of fish this week!
In between fishing we would play games, do our nails, a puzzle, or just visit!
Then back to more fishing!
We also explored the lake as a family in the canoe! No we didn’t tip the canoe. But there was a lot of stay seated reminders!
Our last meal was of course a fish fry! Our chefs did an amazing job! The fish was excellent! Even the kids liked it!
Truly special treasure!
The bonding moments that happen around the camp fire are just precious to me!
Can’t wait to do more family vacations!
