Summer Vacation pt. 2- Memorial Day

I'm embarrassed that I haven't posted these before now, but better late than never I guess. In May our church had our annual Memorial Day picnic at a local park. I suppose that marks the 8th anniversary of my first (albeit very short) conversation. The kids had a great time playing on the jungle gym and running around with their friends and Tim and I had a great time fellowshipping with our friends and playing volleyball.






(Nathan and Megan were so patient when a large group of kids lined up to balance on the giant ball.) More summer pictures coming tomorrow!

Olympic Training Center



Last Monday Tim and I took our kids to the Olympic Training Center here in Colorado Springs. We met up with another family from around the corner and we had a great time! We are planning on doing an Olympic unit study the week before the games begin, so I thought it would be a good idea to visit the training center beforehand. The weather was beautiful and the kids had a blast. Dabney kept coming to me and saying, "I'm learning so much today!"

We saw a movie about the Olympics and took a tour around the grounds and inside some of the buildings. We saw lots of athletes, but none I could recognize.

The 2010 games begin in Vancouver on February 12th!

Wonderful Weekend

Phew! What a great weekend we had! And it still only Saturday night! Yesterday Tim took off from work and we met one of my sweetest old friends from Delaware in Boulder. She finishing up a week of fun with another friend and we had the privilege of taking her to lunch and then dropping her at DIA. I so wish Johanna could have stayed through the weekend with us~ maybe next time.

It was such a treat to have you with us Johanna! We all want you to come back, especially the kids.

We also made it to the park (pictures of that to come) and our local Bible study on Friday evening, where I bribed my friend to take a family picture. (Can you believe I made it into 2 pictures in one post?)



And then I went a little crazy and took about 30 pictures of my kids as they were staying still for about a minute and a half. If anyone has any pointers about how to get 4 kids to look in the same direction with their eyes open, please let me know.
