Outside fun!

Today we finished up Vacation Bible School.  The kiddos sang a couple songs for us at the end of the day today.  It was sweet!

After VBS we headed to Freddy Hill.  Freddy Hill allowed us to play miniature golf, see farm animals, and get a little sweet afternoon treat!  We (obviously) didn't keep track as we played because our stroke numbers would have been off the charts high... it was/is all about fun!

Later in the evening Bob gave the kiddos wagon rides pulled by the tractor before enjoying another camp fire!

 

Lots of fresh air for us today!!

Fun, fun, and more fun!

Today we started out with Vacation Bible School.  The kiddos really seem to be enjoying themselves!  Everyday they have been singing and dancing, making crafts, having a snack, and this years theme is learning about Mary.  It is neat to hear them share things they have learned and to sing their songs to me as we are driving to our next destination!

Today was a little bit hectic as I dropped everyone off at 9:00 for VBS, next picked RJ up early at 10:30 to take him to speech, then raced back to get the girls, and off to the pool we went!  We relaxed at the pool from about 12:30 until 6:00!!  It was great!  It wasn't too humid and there was a nice breeze!  When the kiddos got bored swimming I brought books so they took a break reading books!  We enjoyed lunch and snacks throughout the afternoon too!  (And since I  packed them RJ couldn't ask for unhealthy snacks!!  We had applesauce, apples, grapes, yogurt, it was a healthy afternoon!)

Came home and ate a rotisserie chicken with mac-n-cheese for supper.  Yum!

Tiring Day!

Today the kiddos had a super day!  Did I ever mention how much I love summer and having off and spending time with them?  I honestly NEVER wish away the summer.  We skin cringes when other parents say the cliche "I can't wait for summer to be over and the kids to be back in school!"  I still wish with all my heart I could be home with them full time, but now they are in school full time... so... anyway...

The kiddos had a blast today!!  First they started off with Vacation Bible School again.  They made another craft, sang songs, played games, and learned a little more about the bible... oh and they shared today their snack was pretzel rods!

After VBS we headed straight to the pool!  I had packed lunch and their swim suits and off we went!  They love the pool!  I love the pool too because there are extra 'eyes' on them so I know they are safe!  I also love that the shallow end is roped off and you must have a band to swim in the deeper end!

We had lots of fun in the sun today!

We came home and took a rest/down time... Morgan and Catherine fell asleep, RJ read books in his room because he REFUSED to go to sleep.  Ugh...

After Daddy got home we finally had a NO rain day so we had the campfire!!  Lots of fun!!  We invited a neighbor over... and everyone enjoyed the fire, light up glow bracelets/necklaces and s'mores!  Catherine was a little 'worried' about the noises we heard - birds, crickets, and other sounds!  She said she was scared of deer and bears... I assured her that the deer and bear would not come out if they heard us talking... and would not come near us especially with the fire!  It reminds me of the different type of lifestyles there are from center city living and country living...as so often I think everyone sees/hears/smells the same as me!

So much fun!!!

VBS and bedtime

Today the kiddos had a busy day!  We had Vacation Bible School again all morning.  Crafts from the last two days!

We came home and Daddy made grilled cheese sandwiches!  It was raining... so... what.to.do...

We went to Mr. B's Coffee house where they have an inside playground of sorts and the kiddos played for about 2 hours!

We hit up Red Robin for supper... Red was walking around.  Catherine was so smart... "I know there is a person in there" and Morgan's response, "Well... maybe where you come from, but here there is no person he is real!"  (A couple quiet whispers from this Momma in Catherine's ear to keep the truth quiet and then a random 'same' (NOT) whisper in Morgan's ear...)

After supper we came home and played inside for a bit and then went upstairs with milk for 'cuddle time.'  Wanted to show what it actually entails...
