The highlight of the week was our church’s Vacation Bible School (VBS). With a “road trip” theme, the lessons, songs and Penny Campaign all connected to taking a road trip with the big ideas of God Calls, God Provides, God Guides, God Disciplines and God Delivers. The three younger cousins enjoyed participating this year while Zander was one of the youth photographers for the week! Aunt Lindsey, Grammy and I were guides so you can imagine we were busy from start to finish. The boys won the Penny Challenge which means three of the four cousins were excited about that result! ;) Since VBS was in the evenings, we fit in a couple pool days (one took us back to Tanglewood Park) and got to spend time with friends throughout the week. Sam and Jenn came into town and we were able to celebrate Sam’s birthday together (at Print Works Bistro for brunch and Fire and Sticks for dinner), take a tour of our college campus (posing for pictures outside our freshman and sophomore dorm rooms), take the kids to a trampoline park and simply enjoy catching up on the couch at our house (thanks to a rainy Monday). We are already counting down to next summer. I had lunch with Aunt Kelly and Carmen on two other days this week which means I got to see 5 of my closest friends within a 7 day period. This is such a blessing as many of them live out of town, the state or the country. Also, this past weekend, we got to have our annual lake day with the Badens. It was raining most of the morning so we opted to hang out at the house before catching a break in the weather and going out on the water for a few hours. We picked up a desk for Zander from Grannie’s house on the way back home and stopped at a 7-Eleven for free slurpees for 7/11 day!
