Summer Fun, June

 June was full of summer fun!

While the other kids participated in music camp at the beginning of June, Nathan spent the week at ORU at a STEM camp learning all about ciphering, rockets, and robotics. 

He roomed with be best buddy Daniel for the week. 

Elisabeth had a Keepers of the Faith meeting at the beginning of June. They started a mosaic project and ended the meeting making edible mosaics :)

The Shondelmyers spent an evening with us, and the girls dressed up Honey. I don't think she was too excited about it. 

We love summer and the extra time we get to spend with some of our best friends. 

We spent an afternoon with the Breedens. Anne and I were hard at work planning Middle School events for the year. It's tough having meetings at the pool. 

We picked up Nathan on Friday afternoon from his camp. They had a short awards ceremony, and Nathan and his friend Jax won first place in the robotics competition. 

So glad these boys could spend the week together. 

The next week of June was VBS! Nathan and I worked with Pre-K missions for the week. Samuel was a huge help in decorating our room. He's such a creative kid.

Elisabeth was ready for crazy hair day. 

We made it to a Drillers Game this summer. We missed it last year. It's a fun summer tradition. 

The boys tagged along with Mindy's church to an AWANA camp in Arkansas for the week. When I picked them up, they both talked non stop about everything they did and learned that week. 

While they were gone, the girls and I did all the girly things. We had a pool play date with friends. 

And we got manicures and pedicures. 

Elisabeth had another Keepers meeting, and the little sisters were invited to join. 

They finished their mosaics. Elisabeth's turned out great. She gifted it to Granny for her garden. 

They also had a swim safety lesson at the meeting. 

The girls conned me into fancy snow cones on the way home. It's easier to say yes when there's only two of them.

As much fun as we had on girls' week, we were missing our boys!

Their reunion was sweet. 

The boys made crafts during camp and gifted them to their sisters. They were such thoughtful gifts!

I think they missed each other 💓

We had a crazy day where we lost power for almost a whole day. It was stressful! But the bright side was, we got to have a spontaneous pool day with some of our favorite people.

Including matching swimsuits, ha!

Summertime means lots of outside time. We had a Noah's Ark theme going this June. 

We hosted a couple of families for a pool day. The big kids were all in pre-k together, and now they're teenagers! Time FLIES!

Sweet girl is always ready to pose for a picture. She's ready for the Fourth of July
