Week 8- More Summer Fun! Yahoo!

The summer is winding down, but we are still soaking in every minute of fun we can before school starts!  This week was VERY busy, but also VERY fun!


Kevin went out of town this week for a conference for school.  I absolutely hate it when he goes out of town because I feel so lost without him.  Miley also feels lost when Kevin is gone.  This was her the day he left.

We stayed busy with VBS this week.  Carol and I took the kids from 9-12 every day, and then we headed to school to work in our rooms.  It was nice having that time to get things done.  The kids had a ton of fun at Faith Arlington's VBS!

The kids raised enough money that Pastor Brian lost his bet and had to shave his head!!!

We hit McDonald's a couple days this week after VBS!

We also played in the cove every night this week.  It has been so hot that the kids had to find creative ways to stay cool!

Monica brought Katey over one night and the kids had fun playing a game of baseball.

Carol and I got brave one night and let the kids ride their bikes around the block all alone.  This was a big step for them, but an even bigger step for us!  Cami and Ava packed their backpacks with water bottles and walkie talkies like they were going on a real adventure.  Here they are riding away: (sniff, sniff-They are growing up way too fast.)

When they got back, they had many stories to tell.  According to Dalton, they found a haunted house in "downtown Summer Meadows".  They were pretty animated and funny telling us all about it.

Monday
Once we picked the kids up from VBS, we headed to the Germantown pool!  We also found a new yogurt place called Menchie's!  It is the BEST!!!!
  

Tuesday
After VBS, we swam at Michelle's pool!  The kids love her diving board!

Ava looked so funny in these goggles.

They always have fun throwing the ball to each other as they jump off the diving board.

Cami, Ava, and Lily stopped playing to take a little rest.

This is a really cool picture of Elia playing in the pool!  The girl has some serious leg muscles!

Miley knows how to keep cool!

Wednesday
After VBS, I took the girls to meet Grammy and Papa at Cracker Barrel for lunch.  Then we went to Walmart to get a new bike for Ava.  She has outgrown her old one.

Thursday
We did VBS and the Germantown pool.  We also had to visit Menchie's again!  YUM!!!


Kevin got home from his trip shortly after we got home.  He brought the girls a new soccer goal.  I think Kevin is taking this whole competitive soccer thing a little far.  

Friday
The kids went to their last day of VBS.  While they were at VBS, Carol and I voted!  The kids, and even Miley, say "YES" to Arlington schools.

Then we came home and went swimming at the neighbor's house.  Elia and Dalton had fun trying to "surf".

All the kids had fun playing on the rafts.  

That was until a wasp came along and they all flipped out trying to get under the water.  It was pretty funny!

Now that Kevin is back in town, he can continue working on his summer project!  The end project will be revealed soon!

One more week left of summer fun!
