winona lake vacation

I had a great time in Winona Lake last week. Skiing, swimming, relaxing, seeing friends. It was wonderful.

First, there's my friends' adorable kids.

Tiph and her son, Reagan









Reagan in his Johnny Jumper. He's quite the cutie. And always laughing.









This is Caroline's son, Caleb. He just turned two. He's talking like crazy.









Caroline, Sarah Ashton and I went biking on the new trail.









Caroline & I went to visit Monica on Thursday.












Ah, Winona Lake. Here's Ryan Goebel skiing.









While we were skiing, this hot air balloon launched over the lake.









On Saturday, Tiph, Chris, Reagan & I went to a ski show. It was the first one I've ever been to.
