We were able to enjoy a weekend away at the trailer. We had nice weather, although not hot enough for me to swim, but this kids enjoyed it! We also took up Auntie Sue with us. What a big help she was! Thanks for coming Sue! For building sand castles, going on adventures, changing dirty diapers, and playing games. It was a fun time. We were thankful to have this time to spend together as a family.

Ethan wasn't too sure of the water at first, but absolutely loved the sand, and even ended up eating quite a few mouthfuls of it!

Ethan & Auntie SueOn another note, we heard of some sad news late on Saturday night. There was a tragic accident and a young man (Matthew Janssen) drowned. This accident did not take place at the camp ground, but in town (Bracebridge). He was staying with some friends and one of his friends parents own the trailer next to us. We do not know the exact details but know that he and some friends were swimming in the Muskoka River in Bracebridge, near the damn/gorge. It happened so suddenly and tragically. We do not know this young man, but pray for his family and friends as they are mourning and grieving their loss. May they find their comfort in the Lord. We did hear some happy news that a family who was camping there had a new grandson born that same day. We know that the Lord gives and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord. I really find when I hear of news that is so tragic or if a family is going through a trial, it makes me look at the blessings that I have and remember not to take anything for granted. We never know when our time will come to meet our Maker. So we need to be ready!
