Annual Grand River TIP

Annual Grand River TIP - 2013

I was so determined to take pictures of this event - however went to get my phone out of my car and realized it was dead - so once again had to rely on others.

Waiting to get into the water - took a little longer than normal this year

Finally:)

The journey has begun - starting with lots of tipping

My favorite canoeist - special memories on the river

Looks like trouble - I`m sure at least one of those boats ended up upside down - if not all three!

Loading up after - was the perfect day for canoeing - river was high - sun was shining and the temperature was pretty warm - got chilly at the end, but we turned the heat on in the truck and it was all good:)

A neat couple I got to know a little bit! They have a really neat story - love meeting new people!

BBQ and fellowship time afterwards

Campfire started

Mark took mostly everyone on a wagon ride - felt so much like autumn, was nice.
Then everyone went to the soccer field for an intense game of soccer - was fun to watch (disappointed I couldn`t play) - also got to catch up with Heather a bit which is always a blessing!
Was a fantastic day and William, Sarah, and Nelly did a wonderful job at organizing it all and putting everything together! Thanks guys for making it possible!

May He give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of those secret places! I Am Your Shield Rachel Wissman My child are you discouraged By the sorrows of the day Does it seem like life is crumbing The skies have turned to grey Don’t forget I gave you promises to guide you every hour In the moment of your heartbreak Let me show you my great power And I will be your shield When the battle rages on And I will be your light when the way ahead is dark I will be your strong tower And guide you every hour Just place your life completely in my hand I know it won’t be easy I never said it would But my grace will always be there My plans for you are good Remember that your weaknesses are perfect in my sight Only when you yield them to ...
