Well, well...as promised I would share the rest of Jake and my summer adventures together. We were so blessed by the company of others, quality time, and genuine happiness as a couple. This new season of life back at school will definitely look different from the summer but we are quite excited for what is in store and are praying to share our relationship with others however that may look.
1. We went swimming.
2. We went to Valleyfair (complimentary of Leah's hard work).
3. We went camping in Southern Minnesota with our childhood friends :)
4. We went stand up paddle boarding with our dear friend Gina.

5. We went to the Minnesota Zoo with Jake's family (for free).
6. We took the Rataj family canoeing and kayaking.
7. We spent time with our best friend Weston while he was on leave from the Marines.
8. We worked together at the regional park.
9. We hiked together and enjoyed the beautiful park of Oak Grove upon our return back to Northwest Iowa.
And that is that. Our experiences were much more quantitative and qualitative than the amount of pictures produced or what is being expressed through them but hopefully you got a little taste of where our joys came from this summer. We are so blessed by experiences shared with others and hope to continue to grow and foster those relationships, among our own, wherever we may be.Labels: a day in the life, blessings, friendship, Hiking, home, Jacob, Nature, outdoors, pictures, refresh, Summer
