Yesterday (Tuesday) we had a great day of VBS with a couple new kids arriving. We have around 30 total, many are familiar faces. Then we took a scenic drive northbound to Copper Harbor. Fresh rainbow trout and whitefish was purchased for a cookout at the state park, Fort Wilkins. After dinner we drove to the top of Broccoli Brockway Mountain for a stunning vista of Lake Superior and more. The sun set as we drove home admiring the views of Superior along M-26.
Today (Wednesday) was day three of VBS at the Zeba Campground and we studied the Body of Christ. The crafts we had involving clay are especially popular as the children love to create with it. Google eyes are also a bit hit and usually end of all over faces.
Then the pastor took us for a special hike to the Sturgeon River Gorge. We drove southwest of Baraga into the middle of nowhere and took a 20-minute hike down the side of the hill, steep enough to involved a number of switchbacks, to a phenomenal waterfall. What an amazing example of God’s creation! Many enjoyed wading in the pools of cool water after the invigorating hike and in preparation for the return uphill. Phew…we made it!
