Benhardus family reunion
After our time in northern Minnesota, we got to go to Minneapolis to spend time with my mom's family and have a family reunion there. It's been a long while since we've done that! We arrived a few hours too late to see my cousin Heidi and family but everyone else was there other than my cousin Dawn, who's serving with the Peace Corps in The Gambia (West Africa). Here's pics from our get-together.
Northern Minnesota
Here's pics from our visits to Marcell and Duluth, Minnesota the beginning of August. These churches have some great friends of ours and of Vanuatu and it was great to catch up with them again after 4 years away! Here's a few pictures from our visit. WOWzers, the intro on this Smilebox is painfully long, sorry about that! I promise, there really are pictures in there after the intro plays itself out.

A few preliminary pics
I have loads of pictures to get from Gretchen and my mom to have a real post about our time in Minnesota and S Dakota, but here's a few fun preliminary shots in the meantime! The first few are our 1st 2 stops in MN seeing our supporting churches and friends there. Sorry, I left all the family photo shots to my mom and Houghton so have to get those on here later! After that it's family vacation in S Dakota which was super fun!
Hanging out at the lake at the Steinbrenners. What cool friends they are!

This contraption with the slide rocked! My mom had a bit too much fun on it and hurt herself but when we were chiding her for going too fast her response was: "it was totally worth it!" Wow, now that's dedication. :)

Already missing you, Faltynskis!
