Our Trip to North Dakota |
|
June 6th, 2007 - June 12th, 2007 |
| Our summer trip for this year was a trip to North Dakota. We went to NoDak to see Paul's little brother, Michael, get married! It was such a great trip! We had so much fun visiting with Paul's family again and it was especially fun to see Michael and Samara get married. We are very happy for them and pray all of God's goodness for them! It was also so fun to see Jared as ring bearer in their wedding. He was the cutest little ring bearer ever! And he did a great job too! Check out pictures of the trip below (there are a lot of them ;) ). |
