Surfside

We traveled to Surfside (near Galveston) for a beach vacay with Cookie, Jeff, Gigi, Cody, Amy, Sage, Logan, Ellie, Jason, and Lindsay! Cookie and Jeff own a vacation home that they rent out, and we all used it for a few days of family fun! We got brave and decided to take Griffin. He's a great car traveler and after about a day of adjusting to his surroundings at the house, he had a great time. He loved the beach, and so did the kids of course! They paddle boarded, boogie boarded, looked for shells, and made sand castles. We walked along a long jetty one day which was neat. The weather was great and the water felt amazing! We also went to the Sea Life Aquarium one day which worked out great because that was the day it rained most of the day. Daniel's Uncle David and Aunt Phyllis came the last two nights so it was fun to see them.

Summer Catch-Up

We just finished a week of VBS at our church. I helped teach 4th graders and loved it! I was so busy that I only got this one picture of my kids. The theme was Agency D3 (secret agents) and it was so fun!

Aidan had basketball camp at his school last week. He loved seeing his friends!

Avery had her friend Haylee over to play. Haylee's brother is Aidan's friend, and she'll be in Avery's class next year!

Our 4th of July wasn't very exciting. We had planned to all go swim at the Nardos', Daniel's friend from work. But I came down with a bad stomach bug the night before so I sent the three of them without me while I recovered. They even made this cute fruit tray and cupcakes on their own! We thought about going to watch some fireworks that night, but I still wasn't up to it...but we were able to see some fireworks from the backyard!
