Summer Things…

Summer is officially here, with all the great busyness it offers.
Some things we are looking forward to are things you may want to do with your own family.
A traditional mini vacation we take every year (Minus one, for the last 20 years), is Kingdom Bound in Western NY.
The Kingdom Bound Festival is a great family time. There is entertainment and worship that will be great for all ages. When you got o Kingdom Bound, you may just come away with a new outlook on not just life in general, but life as a Christian. There is something magnificent about worshippiing with so many people, who have a like faith. When there is corporate worship, as offered at KB every day, there is a special anointing that can spur you on to grow in your own walk with the Lord, as well as help you realize that there are so many other people who Love God too.
When the lazy afternoons hit, it’s nice to take a walk through Darien Lake Amusement park, where the KB festival is held, and go on some of the fun rides.
Campfires at night, or the late night jam session offer some relaxing fun to end the day.

Another great thing we are looking forward to is Camping. We have never gone camping, just to go camping. This is the year to give it a go. The kids are excited, and Dan and I are trying to figure out the most comfortable way to sleep in a tent. (middle age makes comfort a nessesity..lol)
We are also having picnics and a family reunion, weddings and other parties, cookouts at our house, and trips to a local park.
Summer fun can only be done in the summer, so I decided to try to relax and enjoy it all.
