This year we have had a short list of things we wanted our kids to do and to see here in the United States. That list in part was prepared by us parents, but also by Rebekah. Over the last five years in the Philippines, Rebekah has studied several different places and has asked us to go to them. Here is part of our list:
-Yellowstone
-Mt. Rushmore
-Redwoods in California
-Abraham Lincoln’s Tomb & Museum
-Thomas Jefferson Museum in Virginia
-Michigan State Capital and Museum
-Oregon Coast
-Niagara Falls
-Grand Canyon
As our travels to supporting churches have criss-crossed the States, we have been in the vicinity of all of these landmarks and museums. Some of the items on the list have been seasonal. For example, we have been waiting for this spring to arrive so we could go to Holland and see the tulips. Of course, we are not talking about the country of Holland, but the city in Michigan. Tulip Time is here and we wanted to the kids to see the tulips, windmill and klompen dancers. Our kids did have a good time, but it was probably more for mom and dad than for them.
So what is left on our list? Well the only thing left is a Michigan fort. We hope to take the kids up to Fort Michilimackinac in Mackinaw City, Michigan.
Once again, thank you for partnering and praying with us.
