Summer Fun

We were blessed a few weeks ago to go to summer camp as a family (minus Cade- He was not old enough to go this year.) This was Addie and Brandt's first taste of camp. We had a great time and got to meet new friends and see an old family friend-Burke Brack-that I had not seen in a very long time. It was a wonderful time for us to spend together. We got to sing, swim, climb rock walls, crafts, yes-even a zip line. We had a blast!

We were up in the Mountains of New Mexico. It was wonderful to see God's glory all around us--BUT-- we were not able to use cell phones up in the mountains; therefore we were unable to call and check on Cade. We had not ever been away from Cade for such a long time. We were all ready to talk to and see him by the end of the week. He got to spend some quality time with Aunt Beth and Nanna and Paw Paw. It sounded like he had a great week as well.








Grave Dig'n

The second Saturday in June has been what our family calls "The Grave Dig'n". We have gone to our family cemetery for generations now and had a work day. I loved watching my kids join in on the work to clean things up.




Dad got to visit with his Uncle O.V. - while the rest of us WORKED!! :-)






Great Wolf Lodge

Yesterday was my nephew's 3rd birthday. He had his party at the Great Wolf Lodge while his family was there on their vacation. We got to go and spend the day with them and celebrate three blessed years with Coen.


What a fabulous place. We ALL had a great time swimming and going down all the slides. I'm so thankful I have such brave kids. My little 3 year old, Cade would ride any slide the life guard didn't say he was too short to ride.







I have been wanting to get Brandt into swim lessons and I have not done it yet----Well, yesterday he just started swimming!!!! Beth said "I guess you just saved yourself $60." Brandt looked at me and said "Since I did that will you pay me $60?"
(Smarty Pants!)





10:00 p.m. and time to go home. What a fun, yet long day. The kids had a blast, but some are starting to have melt downs. What a great time with family and friends.
