Summertime

This summer is going very fast!  After finishing out at VBS, we got in the van to drive down to Myrtle Beach, making a quick stop at the Thorsons!  We had a great time with you guys, the kids are still talking about their new best friends from our beach trip. 

We had fun at Myrtle Beach, going to an aquarium, put putting, and of course, lots and lots of time at the beach. It was nice spending some time with our new brother in law, and a lot of laughter.  





 Daniel was great on the boogy board and Kevin was great at catching the crabs.

The week after the trip, Daniel and I jumped on a plane and had some time with my Dad, sister, and nephew.  The boys were inseparable.  Kevin was very gracious with spending time with the other two, and my brother was crucial when I got off a full plane to take another plane that was delayed...we didn't get home until very early on Monday.  I do have some delta vouchers...anyone want a visit?

 This was in Dubuque...a great museum if you find yourself in Iowa.  




And now most of my vacation days are over.  I got Rachel registered as a Kindergartener, and are looking forward to what homeschool will look like with two. Just gearing up for the fall, the vegetables we are getting already from our garden and knowing what to do with them, and just the general getting ready for school thing.
