In the van

Sooo much fun!

Sadly this was Elisha's last year as a camper, as he will be thirteen before the next year. Thankfully God moved on camp this year and he (Bethany too) really stepped up and reached out to other kids in prayer. It was an awesome few days with some really great kids. I think this may have been the best one yet!

Kid's Camp

Here I go again, blogging about summer. I can't help it. I didn't post these great pics yet and I just have to get it outta my system. Okay, okay, that's probably gonna take quite a while...

My kiddos look forward to Kid's Camp with the church each year. And I mean, who could blame them!

There's lots of swimming...

...crazy games...

(that's panty hose on his head and he had to race to each the go-gurt out of the package the fastest)

...hanging out with friends...

...and Daddy too (literally!)...

...lesson time...

(look at that summer bleached hair!)

...worship...

...and the best part? No one is "too big" for kid's camp yet. *Sigh* That happens next year.

VBS

Hmmm... Maybe I should have titled this post something other than VBS because really this is post only shows the last day of it, the day the kids really look forward to. They love each day of this VBS that they have gone to since they were little, but Friday is always the day they break out the water slide!

A little plastic, a few tarps, some wood and creative talent, and you have a home made water slide.

Elisha and one of his best friends, T. Sadly this was Elisha's last year at this VBS. As on next year he will officially be "too old."

For some reason I got better pics of Elisha. Not because I wasn't trying to get more pics of Bethany, but because she was either in constant motion or always had someone walk in front of the camera when I was focused on her.

So much fun, so sad to see it end. One more year for Bethany and then she's officially "too old" too. :0(

Bike/Walk A Thon

Me again! It's been a few weeks, I know, and I am still posting about summer. AND it's now October. *SIGH* At this rate, you'll come around in March and I'll just be getting to Christmas. Yeesh! Ah well, I still like to look at the pictures and remember these days. So I guess I'm gonna continue to share them.

Each year before Kid's Camp we hold a Bike/Walk a Thon as a fundraiser for the kiddos who are going. The turn out is usually low, but for the kids who need it, it helps. AND, they usually have fun doing it!

See the littler girl in the pics? She lost her momma the Saturday after we came back from camp. This was the last day I had a chance to visit with her mom. It's crazy how time just keeps marching forward like it does. She's only eight years old. Thankfully she has started to attend the Christian school I work at, so we have been able to love on her a lot, and show her daddy the support he needs as he raises her and her sister. Please keep them in your prayers if you think of them.

Bethany enjoyed riding her bike, but still convinced her daddy to walk a lap with her as well. I think she enjoyed the little bit of time she had him all to herself! :)

Afterwards, we hung out in the shade on our blanket. The kiddos were tired and just wanted to lie around and talk for a bit. Works for me since we do not have air conditioning and it was somewhere in the 90's by the time the A Thon was over.
