Swimming at Grammy and PawPaw's House

We are enjoying some vacation time here at Grammy and PawPaw's house.  Swimming in the backyard has been one of the favorite activities.  Of course it's better with the slide going into the pool.  It makes it just that much more fun!

It looks like they are going to crash...thankfully, they did not.

Pure joy!

County Fair VBS

Joshua and Caleb attended Vacation Bible School (VBS) at a Baptist church here in town and the theme was the county fair and learning about the fruits of the spirit.  We were given a c.d. of the music to listen to and we had ours on in the van whenever we were in it.  The music is fun and upbeat and the kids liked to sing along with it.  Which is the point of course.  They had a fun week and I am glad that they were able to go.

There were three different dress up nights but we only participated on one night. Animal night. We used something we already had...bunny ears. 

This is the last night of VBS and the children sang the songs that they had learned for all the parents.  Josh is right in the middle in the picture but later he moved to the right.  Right if you are looking at the stage.

The incoming Kindergartners were able to join in for the 1st 3 songs.  Caleb was very enthusiastic through the whole program.  

They did sign language to some of the songs and it was fun to watch Josh participate.

 After the program we had ice cream with everyone.  It was so cool to hear how excited Josh was to tell us about the bible stories that he had learned each night.  I love how new and fresh it all is to him and I pray that God would give me a fresh and new look everyday.
