No Soul Left Behind

Here are some random photos of the fun we had this month.

The Dancer cowered in the car during the fireworks, but the rest of us had a fabulous time!

The Dancer and our friend Maggie after a presentation by the Turtle Lady.

Here are two pictures from our trip to Egypt (Actually, it was only a trip to the science museum, COSI).

Dad took the kids to many places (including the zoo)the week I was in training to be a catechist for the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program.

The Columbus Symphony Orchestra has the most incredible summer concert series for kids.  Our kids love to dance to the music!

Smiles loves the CSO’s summer concert series too!  She likes to dance, the free popcorn, and the face painting.

No, buying and selling a house aren’t the only things we’re doing this summer.  It just seems that way….

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from Vacation Bible school.

Music is always a lot of fun!

This year was Smile’s first year to participate in VBS!

The other day, my husband was outside with the children.  He was in the front yard doing some yardwork, and the kids were helping him.  I was inside the house.  My husband set up the sprinkler in the backyard to water the grass, and the Naturalist asked if he could play under the sprinkler.  My husband said yes, and the Naturalist ran inside, got his swim trunks, and ran under the sprinkler.

His sisters wanted to play in the water too.  The Dancer was in a panic because the other two kids were having fun under the sprinkler, but she couldn’t find her swim suit.  I helped her find her swimsuit, then went to the backyard to see what was going on.  My husband was still working in the front yard, and he thought I was watching the children.   The below picture shows how I found the Naturalist and Smiles. 

Apparently, Smiles didn’t care about finding her swimsuit.  She didn’t want to miss out on any of the fun. 

When my husband and I found Smiles like this, we both said to each other, “I thought you were watching the children!”
