1. Vacation Bible School! Micah made his "big church" singing debut this year at Parent's Night. Did he really love VBS? Yes, yes he did.
Be strong! Don't be afraid! God is with you always! |
2. MAX!!! Sweet baby, Max showed our family, especially our kids, how mighty the prayers of the saints really are. Thank you, Brooke, Richard, Ada, and Max for allowing our kids to be apart of your journey.
3. The Library. I love the library year round, but the library during the summer has a certain magical quality to it. It says, "Come, find a book you are not required to read. Envelope yourself in a great story that you will be loathe to leave." (Yes, the library uses words like "loathe" and rhymes because it is a l-i-b-r-a-r-y. Sheesh.)
4. The Beach. Sunscreen, lunchables, and family. Ahhhh.....
Really. Don't forget the sunscreen. |
5. Theme Parks!! Who doesn't love a theme park in Florida, in the summer?! Ok, probably lots of people, but not us! We were fortunate enough to go to two this summer: Legoland and Busch Gardens. Both were awesome and receive the "fall asleep in the stroller" seal of approval from Benjamin.
6. The Fourth of July. We dig blowing stuff up. (and freedom)

Not sure why Benjamin looks like he just walked out of Compassion International commercial. We feed him. I promise. Of course, if you want to send us $20 month to help.... |
7. The Zoo.
8. The Civil War I love that our kids are getting old enough to grasp history. Or grasp guns that are related to history.

Micah's Summation of the Civil War: "There were Americans and there were the bad guys." |
9. New Fort!! Thank you to the Liner family for outgrowing this amazing piece of outdoor play equipment and generously sharing it with us!
10. Birthdays!! Our family has three birthdays in July, which means loads of cake and ice cream and three special dinners. This year, Micah got to spend his birthday with grandma and grandpa in a hotel, no less. You can't ask for much more than that.
What was your favorite part of your summer?
