Last Few Days At Home Before Assignment!

In our short time at home this summer, Abigail, Sammy and Meghan like to hang in the backyard, swim in our little pool, play a lot of baseball, swing on the swings and catch "lightning bugs". 

Abigail draws, colors and writes all the time. 

Sammy can stay in this little pool for hours. 

Meghan has no trouble posing for the camera in her favorite bear shirt.

Just before bedtime...and if taking pictures means they can stay up longer, they will do it.

Sammy playing baseball in the backyard the other night with friends. We had an ice cream "get together with friends. What you can't see in the picture are the 17 little kids that were running around.

We are off this week for Castaway Club in Detroit Lakes, MN. We will be gone through August 11 as we will take a small vacation in Minnesota when we are done. We will be updating this blog with pictures and stories from our time away so we hope you enjoy!

St. Louis Crooked Creek Ranch 2008

I spent the first week in June at Crooked Creek Ranch with 53 kids and leaders from St. Louis! It was a great week!

Crooked Creek Banquet Night  - St. Louis

These are the leaders that went to camp from St. Louis - Max, Casey, Allison, Laura, Jamie, Jake, Kevin, Bill, and Sara!

I like to refer to this picture as "Where's Waldo - aka Bill?"

Way Old Family Pic!

This is a picture from vacation 2 years ago. Either we need more pictures or more vacations.
