Ryan's Summer Adventures

Now that summer has come to a close, and school has started for the year, Ryan and his family took some time to reflect on the awesome summer they had, and share it with us!

When it comes to summer, Ryan and his family look forward to getting to spend more time together, and going on their family vacations. This summer they took a trip to South Dakota to visit Ryan’s grandpa and celebrate his 80th birthday. Ryan also got to do fun things during vacation, like go camping in a cabin for the first time, swimming, make campfire cones, and lots of other cool things.

Out of all of the activities the family experienced this summer, the most fun was meeting Ryan’s runner from the I Run 4 program that he participates in. This program pairs people who want to dedicate their workouts to someone who might not be able to run, bike, walk, or do exercise in general. Ryan’s family was paired with a mom from Michigan, and this summer they met halfway in Springfield, Illinois, to get to know each other. It was a great experience and a neat trip to a city they had never been to before.

If Ryan and his family aren’t traveling, you can find the Toews family either at the pool, or the bowling alley during the summer – bowling is their favorite summer activity!

Now that summer has ended, the Toews family is looking forward to football season. Ryan will once again be helping manage his middle school football team at Pioneer Ridge Middle School in Gardner, KS.  To see some more pictures from Ryan’s amazing summer, check out our photo album on Facebook.
