Summer is flying by! We have had lots of water days and have just enjoyed being out after the long winter. Our VBS was probably the best one we've had with higher numbers, but more importantly, 4 souls coming to Christ. We have some amazing kids in our church, and it's been a blast to see them grow!
And then, Ava turned 8 and so we have been busy celebrating her! She says she wanted to be 8 and stay little. I can relate! I would like to be where I am in life but still be 30! So we had a waterpark party with her friends and a sleepover and then our gift to her was a night at the Great Wolf Lodge with a family party to follow. Then!! (Still more!) The kids got to stay the weekend and spend some time with the family getting spoiled with outings -Ava got to paint a princess figure with Nancy - and a trip to Crystal Cave! They have been looking forward to that all summer. My mom always took her class there and decided to take the kids there this year since she's retired. I remember going in 2nd grade in her class. So it was an amazing time, and we are so thankful for the love from all of our wonderful family. And summer's not over! I hope lots more fun will happen before....you know, (fall).
