Whoo hoo! Five Things Friday is back... it's only been 3 months since I've updated this blog here... yikes! I thought that a five things friday would be just the ticket to get you all updated on what's been keeping us busy this Summer!
1. Swimming Lessons & Swimming
Both kids did really great at swim lessons this year. Noelle absolutely loved it which was great since 2 years ago she cried almost the entire 2 weeks! After Parker got all his tears out by day 3, he ended up loving it too!
Now they have both become little fishes and love, love, love the pool!
2. Serving in Joplin
Rodney spent two days in June serving the people of Joplin cleaning up Tornado damage. He worked on repairing 2 homes and a baseball field. It was a lot of hard work, but totally worth it and really changed his perspective and reminded him of how blessed we are and how much we have. A very rewarding experience for him.
3. A Colorado Vacation
At the end of June our little family took a road trip to Colorful Colorado! We had a blast in our most favorite state!
We spent 3 days galavanting around downtown Denver, visiting the zoo, science & nature museum, the capital building, etc.
Then we headed up to Rocky Mountain National Park and camped for 3 nights. The kids had a great time and we made a lot of great memories!
4. Vacation Bible School
A couple of weeks ago the kids attended Pandamania 2011, VBS at our church. They had a lot of fun, learned some new fun songs and learned that God is WILD about them!!!
5. A Trip to the Lake
Last weekend we headed to the lake with some good friends. We had a great time tubing, swimming, fishing, jet skiing, rope swinging and relaxing.
Us with our friends the Jones' & Kaeb's, this was the 4th year we've all enjoyed the lake together! Thanks again to the Kaeb's for inviting us back every year!
We even have a couple more adventures awaiting before the Summer's over! Hope you too are having a memorable one!
