This summer I stayed very busy swimming, tubing, waterskiing, camping, and spending time with friends. One of my favorite things that I did this summer was camping at sleeping bear dunes. We did this over my 13th birthday so it was a really fun way to celebrate. While we were there we climbed a huge sand dune that was about 400ft tall! My brothers and I slept in our hammocks at night when we were there. This summer I also went to South Olive bible camp with Heidi. I had such a great time getting to know other people, going to chapels, and getting a closer relationship with God. I really hope I can go again next year! Going to Pella, Iowa was another highlight of my summer. I got to see cousins that I haven’t seen in a while and that was really cool. I’m so excited to start 8th grade and I think it’s going to be a great year.
