Fun busyness!

We have had a busy couple of weeks!  We were able to get back to the cities a few times for some events.  The first one was last weekend when we joined Berean in the softball tournament in Burnsville.  It was the first time we were able to spend time with our former church, and we were together all day.  So it was fun to catch up!  Also a Very Important Event is taking place!  Chick-fil-a is opening 4 new restaurants in the Twin Cities, and we were able to go to a tasting!  They gave out sandwiches and prizes.  I won a t-shirt!  It was a fun event. 

Then Matt golfed in the Central Seminary tournament, and his team got 2nd place!  So he brought home another golf trophy - he is racking up quite a few! - and a few prizes.  I had no trouble busying myself that day.  We got haircuts and had lunch with some friends.  I even got to go by Woodcrest and see mom and Bek's rooms for this year.  If we were putting Jack there, he would be starting tomorrow already.  How quickly summer flies!  We also spent some time with the families and I got to visit a few shops, so it was a very full day!  Oh and on the way home, we stopped at the World's Largest Candy Store and so there's a picture of the kids in the red phone booth from there.  In case you didn't already want to come to Fairmont, you will now!  It was pretty cool!

Then later in the week, we were able to visit one of our favorite events, the Minnesota State Fair.  I'm so glad we didn't move too far away so we can still go to the fair.  We had great food, the kids got spoiled, enjoyed pretty good weather, and were exhausted but happy at the end!

Saturday we had a SaturDay Camp at our church kicking off our Kids 4 Truth program that is beginning in about a month.  It went very well, and the kids all had a blast!  I'm including a picture of Jack's and Ava's class that learned about the armor of God from Mrs. Cushman.  She did a great job!  

This week there is a heat advisory so we don't have many plans except to stay cool.  We are planning to start school for Jack (and maybe Ava a little, too) next week so that should be interesting.  It is a new Fure family adventure so stay tuned!  Here's a picture of Matt on the state fair bus (armed with his sunscreen in his pocket) to start it off!
