Before the kids went back to school, we took a day trip to Kentucky Splash. It was mucho fun.
Elias loved this waterslide. Olivia liked the one like this for adults, and Isaac liked the enclosed tubular ones. I liked the lazy river. I'm pretty sure Justin liked it all.
I was getting our things together to go meet E and J. When I turned around, I found them like this. Made me laugh. Random place to lay.
We splurged and got dippin dots before we left.
Car ride home.
I thought this was funny. Justin couldn't stand another day with Elias' toenails painted. Justin is taking it off with fingernail polish remover....and Elias is crying.
The kids went to two vacation bible schools this summer. They enjoyed it. Isaac is in 1st pic, Olivia the 2nd. When Elias' group went up to sing, he sat on the step and I couldn't get a pick of him.
Tara, I tried to get this pic lots of times without it being blurry....The blur is Olivia's friend Maria who wouldn't stand still... ha ha ha.
For 4th of July, we went to the river near Gatlinburg to hang out with our neighbors. O&E helped Cadie hang her hammock.
Weeeeeee.....
The water was super rushing from all the rain (and super cold), but we had a small spot that was more calm for the kids to play.
Chris and Erin. We love em!!
Like this???
I couldn't believe Kristin went under! It was too cold for me to even put my feet in up to my ankles without my heart starting to pound!
I think they were trying to be tough guys.
But deep down, they are a barrel of monkeys!
Isaac ventured out to Kristin's hammock. It made me nervous (the water was fast!), but I tried not to show it....I'm glad he made it!
Elias spent a long time with Cadie in the hammock so he could play with and twirl her hair.
Excuse the bum...Isaac was building a rock dam.
Teamwork to get Olivia's shoes back on her feet!
Chris' ebenezer.
And then Townsend fireworks followed. We are so blessed to have such kind and fun neighbors!
