Gracie had Kenya over Sunday afternoon when all the men were gone due to taking the Eugene and Kyle to camp.
We can't imagine how it would be to have just the three of us in our family. We missed the boy's personalities
After some wonderful homemade pizza with some new friends. DQ with an old friend. Sunday morning service and lunch all in Indiana; we headed to Leamington Canada. Where we met up with Nelson's, Randall's, and the Penners for Mon. to Sat. revivals in a gym where with no air conditioning. ;) It was a good experience for us.! :)Matthew turned seven while we were there. So we had a pool party and cake. His parents were some of the main people who helped us though out the week, and worked out all the details. 
Yummy Choco. Peanut butter cake. (Matt's fav.)
Andrew with his new friends from Canada: Matthew and Adrian.
The twins.
Gracie and Brooke.
Me and Janis joined all the kiddos to supervise the fun! :)
Timmy's with the lovely Penner ladies.
And then the boys got a hold of my camera. They were in one of their "moods" where they can only laugh and act crazy! :)
This was a joke. Someone "let one" and Kyle so casually says: "Man, guys, cover the drinks!" :) At that point they absolutely LOST IT! :)
Random object shoot.
Service time.
The Hostetler Children posing pretty in pink.
Gracie listens to her dear friends sing.
This was Eugene's computer that he was in charge of. :) Every night he printed and copied the sermons so people could take them home that night. Then he did all the full albums at end of the week. It's fun to watch my brothers grow up and take responsibility.
My dear father preaching the Word. 
Miah with Derek in the sound booth.
Dad Praying for Nelson as before He preached.
Last night alter call. Thank you Jesus for working in lives. For working ours. For working in spite of ours.
The Penners singing.
Us girls on the last night.
Lake Erie. Just about every day Janis would take the children to the beach about 10 min away. The last day we were there, our whole family made it out. The children either went to the lake or to a pool every day, and sometimes both! :) 
I went out the the pear to get a few shots just before we left.
The bench reads: Leamington
At around 12:00 A.M. we made one last stop to Tim Horten's just before the border. We ended up not crossing the border untill 4:30 a.m. because Rendall's lost a trailer tier just before the boreder, so we needed to stay and help them get things figrured out. Rendall and the boys had an x-box party untill John Freson was able to come with a fork lift to get the trailer onto a trailer. :) And the rest of us slept. :) Bless their hearts. The bad situation couldn't have happend at a better time. We would have been long across the border if we wouldn't have decided to stop at Timmys. And we were right before the border so there was lights and everything to make the prosidgure eaiser. It's like GOd knows the tire has to go bad SOMETime, So He just plans the timeing perfect! :) 
We are now home safe and sound. And on Thurs. night we will be heading out to Ohio for 10 days of tent meetings. Looking forward to that! All the Family is there, all the old Ohio frineds. And to be able to minister By God's Grace is an honor.
(I often start a post, save it and don't update it right away becasue I am not quite done, or I want mom to check it frist etc. And sometimes it takes me several days or weeks to get back to it. So we are now in Ohio at the 6th night of tent meetings)
