Misc. June

In a truly desperate attempt to keep this thing updated, may I present our June wrap-up (in December)...

The only downside to having our Small Group's Garage Sale at our house is also having a kid that had $ burning a hole in his pocket. When you combine those two, you get this:

Doesn't every kid "NEED" giant retracting Batman wings?

June is when the temps warm up enough around our parts. That means out comes the Slip & Slide. And this particular day was a special one. Our "first baby" turned 10 years old. And what did she do to celebrate? She plopped her 80 lb. self right down on that Slip & Slide much to the frustration of two little boys. Just as you should on your birthday. :)

One of family's favorite summer traditions was back after a year off, Summer Spectacular! Our church puts on an incredible not-your-old-school VBS. Classes for everyone followed by an impressive musical. This year the theme was Joseph, and the musical did not disappoint. We all loved it!

A small, local waterpark nearby invited the kids at Will's school and other local Special Ed programs for Champions Day. They opened up two hours early just for our group, which was pretty great not having crowds. We really had no idea how Will would do at a place like this, so what a great way to try it out. And it was a pretty perfect day for this little fish. He loved it. Really what he loved was a little kid slide that he went on approximately 53 times in a row. :)

Will discovered shadow puppets and asked for "aaamuls" each night before bed. :)

Look who made it in our local Rec Center's summer catalog? He is most proud of his goggles & water gun.

Some of our friends got a new pool this summer and invited us over for a fun day of swimming. I tell Tate all the time that Laura and I were pregnant at the same time and Jackson was his first-ever friend. The picture of Anna on the chaise in the pink bikini, eating Cheetos, may be one of my favorites. Isn't that what we all want to be doing?  :)

Another fun trip to Six Flags with these daredevils, thanks to their super reading skills winning free tickets.

And one day I remembered to relax, chill out, and make some fun memories...after of course Tate was threatened with his life that people or animals were never to be thrown over.
