Summer fun...having a blast!

Summertime is the best! I look so forward to the end of the school year, so that I can spend time relaxing with my favorite little girl and doing all the fun outdoor activities that are forbidden fruit for the majority of the year. This year, we bought Sarah a rather large kiddie pool with a slide attached. Sarah invited Maura and Tristan over for a swim.

It appears that Maura is not quite sure whether she wants to wet her golden locks. The water was a little cold and I think she spied a bug.



Sarah and Tristan had no problem braving the waves.

Water guns, pails, and some cool water are all you need for backyard fun in the summer.


Summer also means VBS! Pretty much the whole month of June, Sarah has been a VBS hopper. She LOOOVES vacation Bible school. She went with our neighbor, and next, the church we attend in Frankfort. This week she plans to attend VBS in Lexington as well. She is a real traveller.

The theme at Holly Hill this year was "mad scientist". The youth group ran the whole VBS and did a great job creating a control panel and some really funny videos to accompany the theme. On the far right, you can see the youth minister, David. The kids love him so much, he seems to have youngsters "orbiting" him at all times.




Closer view of the action.

Sarah is sitting here with a friend, Caroline. She just turned three last week. I love their conversations. Just the other day, Caroline turned to Sarah and said. "Hi Sarah, oh I LOVE your sandals!" Ha! What little women they are.

Over 200 attended VBS this year. 209 to be exact on Wednesday night. A challenge was put out by Bryan, the minister. If more than 200 attended on any night, he agreed to be drenched with pancake batter! Sarah also brought Caden to VBS as her visitor. She was so proud to have him ride in her car. They were so funny, telling knock knock jokes all the way home. They made absolutely no sense, but were funny anyway.

Here is one example of my daughters three year old wit.

Caden laughing at Sarah's "out there" humor.

Sarah asked me if she could have the camera to take a photo of Caden. I think she did a pretty good job for a three year old.

Caden had a turn next. Sarah is just giddy!
