*4th of July fun!
Before the 4th, I crafted up a communion meditation
for my kiddos at Woodlawn

Then the actual 4th was a busy day!
We started with the 'hood's parade celebration,

which includes ice cream treats
and a dunking booth for the kiddos to play in.
*Later in the afternoon we went over to the
"Gerkin Mansion"
to celebrate family birthdays
with a 4th cookout.
And IS there a better way to end a day than with
sparklers?
I think not!
*Got our laundry and bags ready for a week of church camp
While doing one load of laundry,
I pulled out a wet towel from the washer
and discovered a
in the washing machine!!!
He was very dead-
and very clean-
and very flat.
I have NO IDEA how this came to pass,
but I am wondering if our kitten Thumper
may have something to do with it...

*Church Camp CRAZINESS!!!
Oh, I have MISSED going to church camp!
I finally got to volunteer this Summer,
and Baby Girl and Little Wild Man
both went with me.
I want to, again, write all about this experience
in a separate blog post-
there is just too many good things to share
to list here.
But one thing I do want to mention here
is how camp helped my kiddos
GROW.
They did things at camp that they never
would have tried at home.
I am so proud of them both!
