A Taste of Summer

It's been a few days since we've posted last. After the fun day at the river, it's pretty much been business as usual around here. So, as I cast about for a photo to share, I remembered the pictures I took of the girls after taking them to a U-pick blueberry place just 10 minutes from our house. This photo shows not even 1/3 of the gallon of blueberries we picked that morning, a few weeks back. The blueberries have since found their way into pancakes and breakfast cereal, as well as the freezer, so come winter, we can enjoy a rare taste of summer.

On a different topic, the girls and their next-door-neighbor, Lainey, went to VBS at the church behind our house last night. We had mentioned it in passing to them when we received an invitation to VBS in the mail, and noticed that they were doing the same curriculum as our church did. Ron and I didn't expect our bashful children to want to attend, but after giving it some thought, much to our surprise, they decided to give it a try! And even more to our astonishment, when Ron went to pick the girls up last night, they were right up in the front, leading all the other children in the dance to "Lift Off" (the theme song of the week)!!! They had a great time and are anxious to go again tonight. Which suits Ron and I just fine, as we'll be taking advantage of the 3 kid-free hours this affords us to go out for a quiet dinner. A rare treat!

We'll be taking some time off from the blog for the next few days as we are preparing for our last hurrah of the summer... a 2 day camping trip with folks from our Sunday school class. So expect our next post to be filled with the smells of campfire and the taste of 'smores!
