Second week in was a busy one with swim in the morning and VBS at church in the evenings. We went with the theme of our church's VBS which was camping and added in dinos. It was a lot of fun with some unique experiences. The first morning we stayed close to home watering, chalking, and Isaac woke-up asking to craft. They did some coloring and drawing that turned out productive and made a sundial. The kids got a yummy treat of ice cream that first afternoon and enjoyed sporting their new VBS camping shirts for the first night. They also got their group assignment of animals of white tailed deer and racoons. The second day we went for a scavenger "nature" hunt during a neighborhood walk gathering supplies to be used later. We took a pit stop at a neighbor's play yard and brought back home some pine cones to be used later. After naps we had a good rain so we created pine cone owls that I thought turned out real cute! I took some pictures that night of the kids at VBS. They had such a fun time with the tents at church set up that we decided to pitch our tents at home. The next day we spent reading in our tents and watching "Ice Age Dawn of Dinosaurs" with an snow cone treat in the afternoon. Thursday we headed to the museum with our good friends John Paul, Andrew and Cecilia. All the kids loved the dino skeletons and dino dig outside. Friday was our most unique adventure. Daddy took the day off so we could head to an outdoor state park. God had different plans. I awoke at 5 a.m. to a torrential downpour. I thought we would ruin the day but we decided to head into the storm hoping it would pass quickly. Fortunately, it did and what it left behind 70 degree temperatures and high water. The state park was out but we ventured to a local dino park and got to see life size statues of dinosaurs. The kids really enjoyed it. We then headed to Babe's for an early father's day lunch. Unfortunately, Isaac got a little sick so it wasn't real relaxing but still a memorable day. Saturday we stayed close to home to clean up and prepare for a camp out or should I say grill out with some friends. The Bannerots and Jones' enjoyed some hot dogs, burgers, and smores for the kids and bundt cakes for adults. Thanks Bryan! I set out a little craft for all the kids after dinner and they really got into it- painting rocks. Enjoy our camping adventures!
