This past weekend, I spent some time with my brother Erich and his fiancee. At the Pick’n’Save down the street from his apartment, there was something amazing! I was really excited to see this little friend, but I wish I had been able to find him before the college group retreat. Oh, well.

On Sunday I went to the Warren Dunes in Michigan with the rest of my family. My other brother David and I ran up and down the large dune a couple times. He had some spectacular jumps off the edge of the dunes. We discovered that seagulls can catch pieces of animal cracker in the air if you toss them at just the right time in their direction. We rounded off the day by watching the sun set on Lake Michigan from the top of the dune .
It was good to have some quality family time this weekend. I am trying to treasure every moment I have with friends and family since I will be leaving so soon! I have gotten my plane ticket; I depart for Germany next Monday, July 27.
