Bound for New England - New Hampshire & Virginia

By: Erin

After a wonderful time in Boston, we went to our uncle and aunt's lake home in New Hampshire.  The changing leaves were so beautiful!  We especially enjoyed hiking to the top of Mt. Major, which provided us a beautiful view of an enormous lake and the changing leaves.

The colorful drive there.



The changing leaves made the hike even more enjoyable!

                                   Isaac and Luke made it to the summit before the rest of us.
Getting close to the summit.






The beautiful outlook!



Beautiful scenery provided beautiful portraits!






The aspens' yellow leaves seemed to light up the path.






After the wonderful visit with our aunt and uncle, we traveled on Saturday to Culpeper, Virginia.  On Sunday, we attended a beautiful church service with friends.  Afterwards, we ministered at a local nursing home in Orange, VA where our grandmother would minister and bring our family when we were in town.  This visit was in honor and memory of her as she went home to be with the Lord on August 25, 2015.  It was a blessing to meet some residents who still remembered our grandmother.

Our Uncle Rudy & Aunt Cecelia were able to come, and we were very excited to see them again.


On the drive home, we stopped by a friend's house to visit her once wild mustangs.  One of which (Rain) is the daughter of the famous Cloud, Wild Stallion of the Rockies, who is the only mustang (so far!) to have a whole documentary series done on his entire life.

We all rode on Rain, which was fun!

We arrived home late, but safe!  We thank God for a blessed and wonderful trip together!

"Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.  Serve the LORD with gladness: 
come before his presence with singing."
(Psalm 100:1-2)
