Summer

I don't have a picture to post right this minute, because honestly it's late and I'm too lazy to download from the camera. However, I have been taking a few minutes to think back over the summer. I don't want to rush through life or Madeline's childhood, and was pretty successful this summer in making some fun memories with my family... I was happy that we accomplished the goal of having a good time without spending a ton of money. Let's see, here are some things we did

Swam at the local pool, a lake, and a swimming hole
Had several picnics
Slept in a tent all night once and just for a while once
Played in the swings
Did Slip-n-Slide
Saw a couple of local theater productions
Witnessed the famous family fireworks show
Laughed a lot
Walked in Knob Creek with my family
Put Steven's car in a show (oh and watched him wash it, a lot)
Went to the park
Had play dates
Rode our bikes
Flew Kites
Ate tons of fresh veggies
Read some good books
Went to movies on very hot days
Hung out at the cabin
Went to the family camping
Made cards for soldiers
Had a couple of family parties
Attended several Bible Schools (we are big fans of Bible School)
and otherwise just lived and loved together:-)

It's been a wonderful summer, such a blessed life, and memories which will last a lifetime. God is Good, and our lives are touched by his Grace.
