God has been gracious to us and has been with us through our journey of love and life. He has carried us through some of the most difficult times and has given us joy in the midst of sorrow. He has also been loving and given us abundant blessings. Most importantly, He has provided us with faith. May we share that faith with others.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
"God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame".

LEGO Discovery Center, Sea Life Aquarium, and Rainforest Cafe, July 2016

One our second day of mini vacation, we went to the LEGo Discovery Center.  The kids loved building and testing their LEGO creations, playing in the play-place, seeing 4D movies, and riding the rides.  After the discovery center, we went to the Sea Life Aquarium.  The kids enjoyed seeing the sea life and doing the scavenger hunt.  The Rainforest Cafe was a great way to finish and awesome day!

They had a huge replica of Detroit made out of LEGOs.  They inserted characters and scenes from the LEGO movie.

Greenfield Village, July 2016

We took a mini vacation up to Grandma Kusch's house.  While there, we swam, visited Greenfield Village, went to LEGO Discovery Center, the Aquarium, and ate at the Rainforest Cafe.  It was a packed, fun-filled couple of days.
The kids really loved riding the Model T, going into the old farm house and helping water the garden, playing school at the the one room school house, and seeing how glass is blown.  We rode the train and the bus.  The kids played at the splash pad and playground.  We enjoyed a picnic lunch near the plantation house.  It was a hot humid day, but that did not ruin our fun.

Independence Day 2016

We celebrated Independence Day at home this year.  We enjoyed fireworks at Leo Cedarville.  The kids did sparklers for the first time.  Grandma Kusch and Remington joined us.




God provided us with a beautiful sunset!
