After a smooth 3/4 of a day trip, it feels to me like we have been transported to another part of the world. Nothing but rows of plush green timber dotted with sparkling crystal blue lakes. I have been told many times about the beauty in this area of Michigan...but it is not something you can not truly understand until the first time you see it!
The first day of our quest went without a hitch. We stopped for lunch in the shadow of the Makinac bridge, and we all filled up on a delightfully authentic Italian dinner. The weather was wonderful for gazing at God's beautiful handiwork, but a bit sticky as we stepped out of the vans onto the terra firma of the Ford camping center. Still the youth were super well behaved and handled the long trip very, very well. After we settled in, we had a quick orientation from the site director, sang a few songs, and Wendy brought us home with a wonderful devotion.
Everyone is now in bed and filled with expectations of a great week. We start our journey with breakfast and a trip to church...
Agape from the UP !
