Catch-Up

We've been busy the past few days...there's lots to catch up on!

Last Saturday 6/19 we picked up Katie from her sleepover, we took the girls to "the beach" (a small lake in a city park just south of our church), we went to Sam's for shopping and a late lunch, and we walked to DQ for a healthy dinner of ice cream.

Sunday we went to church, went to a farm to pick strawberries, took Chris to an Indian restaurant for a yummy Father's Day buffet, took naps, went to the pool, and walked downtown for a river-side picnic dinner.

(love this one of Jessi dancing in the field, while holding up her dress for some strange reason. Nice underwear, kid!)

Monday started Vacation Bible School (VBS) at our church. Katie and Megan attend each morning this week, and I get to spend some nice one-on-one time with Jessica for a few hours! Katie & Megan are each in a small group with their respective best friends, so they are loving VBS more than usual. After I picked them up, we went back to "the beach" for a picnic lunch and a long afternoon of playing in the sand and sun.

Tuesday was VBS in the morning, and a doctor appt for Katie after lunch. The girls put on their bathing suits to help wash the van and Intrepid, and they squirted each other thoroughly. After dinner they helped us make 4 batches of strawberry freezer jam! Yum!

Today (Wed) the girls had VBS in the morning, and we went to the pool in the late afternoon. Around lunchtime there was some excitement - an earthquake! I felt it at home, and Chris felt it at work. It was so weird! We have been dodging thunderstorms and tornadoes this evening.

So as you can see, we've crammed a summer's worth of activities into the past few days. It's been a blast! Hope you like the update and the pics!
