Coast Guard Festival

This week was Coast Guard Festival in Grand Haven. This has always been a fun time for me growing up in GH the carnival, the parade, the art fair, and of course fire works. Well over the last few years the carnival has become my favorite part again, not because I go on the rides but because Staci and Steven go to school with me and help with our students. As soon as they were 12 they were old enough to volunteer and are happy to do so. Best friends Cameron and Taylor have been going also since they have been old enough. The festival is fun for our students and fun for the helpers but it is work also, getting in and out of the rides. I could not be prouder of Steven and Staci for giving some of the day to be with our students. Of course after the students go home they ride the bigger rides also :)
This little girl kept reaching for Steven's hat so he shared it with her!
Steven also wanted to get some sun off of her face.
As we were walking around after the students left we ran into our old neighbor April who has always been fond of Staci.
