This weekend was full of so many great things! Friday April and Gretchen came up together with the McCarl kids. Daniel was so excited to find out that his best friend, Dominic, was coming up earlier in the day....more time to hang out together. (I think that he is too old for me to say that he was excited to "play" together.) The kids were excited to have Dominic and Kaylee walk into town together and go see the frozen lake and hang out. We called ahead and put money on an account at Cabin Coffee so the kids could warm up a little after that walk to the lake with some hot chocolate. They had a great time! Friday evening we were joined with more guests....the Boat family, the Nick Tank family, and then Terry and Dylan came up from Des Moines after they got off work. We all enjoyed tacos and all the fun stuff that goes with tacos. Also, Gretchen brought chocolate chip cookies....we all love her chocolate chip cookies! With this group of people we had a lot of kids in the house....12 kids total :) We all stayed up nice and late, but had a great time together, except Dominic who seemed to be coming down with something, but he did gain strength to join in the fun on Saturday.
Saturday morning was a little slow getting around, but we all enjoyed a wonderful breakfast casserole that April made. (Thanks again for making that....it was delicious!) Then the guys headed off to see the warehouse and then went into Mason City for a little bit. Us ladies stayed at the house. My parents also came up that morning...and they brought my birthday present. Lots of fun little things and under all that was a beautiful necklace....THANKS MOM AND DAD. Also, mom and dad brought great deli meats, buns and chips for lunch...that hit the spot. After that we all headed out to the lake to enjoy the kite festival. What a beautiful day to be outside enjoying God's wonderful creation with family and friends. Daniel got a new kite that we can not wait to fly from Grammie and Pop for his birthday. He is looking forward to a kite flying lesson from Larry. After a nice time out at the lake we headed back to the house to enjoy more fun together. The guys headed off to see a movie together, the kids played, and us ladies we played games together and laughed so hard. What a wonderful time! Dinner was also great....thanks again April for the roast and potatoes! Again, nice late night, but great fun!
Sunday morning we started the day out by going to church together with my parents and April and Dylan. Then Rib Crib for lunch....YUM! Then the ladies went shopping...we found some GREAT deals. I got a $118.00 jacket for $11.80 what an awesome deal! The guys ended up heading north and spent some time together at Cabella's. So after shopping April, Nattalie, and I enjoyed a movie together.
As you see, just a great weekend with family and friends. So thankful for the people the Lord has put into our lives.
To change the subject a little from personal to Harvest Bible Chapel Clear Lake.....we have been so excited to see what the Lord is doing here. We had a Vision Night on February 12th and it was just amazing to see so many there. The Lord is building His church and providing in amazing ways! It is so incredible to be a part of what the Lord is doing here in the Clear Lake area. What a blessing to be called to be a part, thank you LORD!
