Summer Lovin'

(Sea World Souvenirs)

This summer has been busy but wonderful. Andy and I went to NC for a pastor’s conference. The kids stayed with my parents and we had a wonderful time. We have had Tball for Kimberlyn, SportsCamp Tennis for Jachin, Machine pitch baseball for Jachin, VBS, and swimming @Nana/Papa’s. Andy was an assistant coach for both Tball and baseball. It was hectic but a blast. I was ready for the season to end when the weather started reaching the 100’s. Having the pool at Nana and Papa’s has been wonderful with all the hot weather.

We took a family vacation to Sea World in San Antonio. The kids loved it and it was a great trip. We stayed in a hotel and Bo said, “I don’t like this room.” He had never been to a hotel before, and wasn’t quite sure about it. But by the end of the trip he didn’t want to leave. We had a free shuttle to the park and we brought plenty of water and snacks. We had a two day pass and it was perfect. The kids loved the rollercoasters and of course Shamu. We went to the waterpark area for half of the second day. Kimberlyn said the trip was more fun than “100 elephants.” I guess it was a hit.

We have a trip to Houston and then school starts! I can’t believe how fast the summer has gone. I had lofty ideas about all that I would do with the kids. I had planned on teaching them Creole....yeah right. So far all I have done is a few weeks of Summer Bridge homework and devotions. Jachin has been reading a chapter book and I am very proud of him. I guess the Creole will have to wait until next summer....
