Summer Fun - Week 1

The first week of summer proved to us all we were about to have a fun summer yet! Cameron spent the week in Galveston with the youth group on a mission trip. (This will explain his absence in the pictures and stories.) They left Sunday morning and returned on Thursday night. While down there, they painted a church building and a rec center. The group came to love the pastor they were working for. He asked them to call him "papa" and cried everyday because of his gratitude toward the youth. His building was ruined during Hurricane Katrina so this transformation had been a long time coming for him.

The younger two kids and I spent the week swimming, bowling, visited the Museum of Nature and Science, swimming, bowling, swimming. We plan to swim quite a bit this summer! And bowl! Our new neighborhood has a neighborhood pool so we've already spent many a hours up there. Love it! And since my children are all part fish, there isn't a better way to spend these hot days. And bowling... we'll be spending a lot of time there as well. The kids have free passes, as well as Jason and I, and since it's indoors and free, you can find us there quite a bit as well.





So funny bowling story... the second time we went bowling last week Colton has his eye on this cute little teenager. He watched her and he walked to the lane, watched her as he drew his arm back, threw the ball and watched to make sure she was watching him. every.single.time. It was hilarious! In between his turns he did some break dancing for her, made silly faces, laughed hysterically at absolutely nothing. It was cute. Now we just need to make sure he bowls more serious next time (those dern girls).
