It's YOUR time ... time with your family and friends.  You get to choose what you want to do and who you hang out with.  :-)   In a way ... it's plan your own party, time along, together or whatever you would like to do.

Jason & Melissa Miller will be doing some fun things around their home which is in the heart of Amish Country and right down the street from Amish shopping, Buggy rides, events, shows and a lot more.

Ben Boersma is opening up his home in Michigan not too far from Jason & Melissa.  Ben has four acres  for shooting and many other fun games and enjoyment will be had.

Mark & Rosanna Boersma have been blessed with a home on 4 acres, right on the river, with a pond and lots of fun things for the entire family and friends.  Mark & Rosanna are 14 minutes from Ben's home and 25 minutes from Jason and Melissa's.

Mark & Rosanna's property is open to kayaking, hanging out by the river, relaxing in the hot tub, reading by the pond, walking in the woods, playing volleyball /other sports, riding go cart (with a helmet) :-), watching a movie on their huge outdoor screen.   Having breakfast over the river and the most amazing sun rises, having a cookout in the afternoon and/or roasting marshmallows and sharing moments while creating memories which will last a lifetime.  You, your family and any of your guests are invited to come over anytime and hang out.  

Mark & Rosanna and their family, grandchildren may be there or they may be at one of the parks, or out on a pontoon boat ride, kayaking / canoeing or who knows where ... which is fine as you are free to enjoy things as you are able to participate.

We can enjoy things together or individually. 

There is a spreadsheet, naturally with Rosanna's desire to have things organized :-) where you will be able to see some possible events where you are free to join.  The week is purposely kept open to where you are free to plan your time with those you would like to hang out with.  The most important thing for everyone is to ... Have FUN, Create Memories ... and be reminded how precious life is.

There is no obligation to join anything or participate in anything.  You are free to participate in whatever you would like to participate in and join for a few hours, a day or two or the entire week.  It is YOUR choice!  

For additional information, details, email Rosanna at MakingAdifferenceInLife7@gmail.com  or call / text Rosanna at 630-649-4059

Rosanna can get your the spreadsheet which will keep you updated on the plans.

There are many reasonably price accommodations.  There are RV Parks, camp grounds, Airbnb, Bed & Breakfasts and you could camp out by Mark & Rosanna's by the river / pond or in their non-renovated cabin.  :-)   Sorry ... Mark said he was willing to give up his waterbed, but Rosanna's not going for that. :-(
