What we have done over the summer!


Makaela and friends. 
 I have had this post ready to go, just forgot to go back and post it.  :o)






Church Time

Allen and Doug Riley working to lend a hand. 

Bro. Mark telling me how to do something.  Lol   

Makaela and Kallie working breakfast!
June - we went to the campground and was wonderfully blessed.  We all enjoyed being in church and working at the campground.  I so enjoyed seeing friends I have not seen in years and catching up with them and their families.  We came back and went straight into VBS.  It was a very good, but crazy week for all who went to the campground.  We were all tired and some were even sick (including me) other than that all the children had a good week.

July - we then had our 4th of July fellowship at the church.  Very HOT, but other than that good times.  At the end of that week, our family had a seminar that we attend every year.  During that seminar we got word that our Assistant Pastor had passed away (which we knew could possibly happen) and the funeral was going to be that Sunday.

On Tuesday, we left for our mini family vacation to Glen Rose, TX.  We opted to stay in a cabin instead of a hotel.  So much better for us.  Other than the heat, since Glen Rose is further north and west, it was a lot warmer there than here.  So we had to plan our days accordingly.  At the end of July we went to the Homeschool Conference and had a very busy and full weekend.  Allen and I did make a few changes for our school year, but not too many.

The front of our cabin.  It was nice. 

Dinosaur Valley State Park


In the River Bed. 

This Giraffe wanted some food!  So he came in our "moon roof"  Lol
It was a neat and fun experience. 

Makaela's favorite! 
We loved this place, it was so much fun. 

At the Look out center and restaurant! 


More of the cabin - I took this from the loft. 

Creation Museum

August - well, Allen Jr. turned 21 on the 2nd.  We had him a small birthday party with family and friends at one of his favorite restaurants.  He loved it.   Since then we have been busy getting ready for school and getting things in order in our home. I have been cleaning out closets, etc wanting to get to a much simpler way of life.  :o)

So that has been our summer...

Summer Time = Busy

We have been off to a running start this Summer.  Allen Jr. and Makaela went on a short 3 day trip with my in-laws.  Last Friday, they left for Oklahoma and will be home tonight. I'm glad they are coming home, I have missed them, but was able to keep busy with packing and cleaning.  We are leaving for the Campground this weekend, when we get back we will have VBS the next week.

Our church is having a July 4th celebration, so we will be here for that.  So needless to say, not sure we will get a family vacation in there, but if we can hopefully after the 4th.  If not we will still have a fun Summer.
