Dress-up and face paint




The kids had some fun playing dress up with neighbor Kayla. We also stopped by a community art show sponsored by Kingdom Causes and the kids got their faces painted.

More Camping...




Stories by the campfire, pitching practice, and Jack's first camping trip.

Late Summer Camping





A little late Summer camping up near Santa Barbara. Fun in the sun.

Tale of Two Teams





Emma and Jonathan both played ball this summer. Emma's team won the Sportsmanship Award, but unfortunately didn't win much else. Laura co-coached the team and they did improve quite a bit over the course of the season. Jonathan's team won their league and got to play for the city championship on the local cable channel. They lost a tough game 15-12.

Two parties




Meg turned five and had two fun parties. One involved family at home and the other included her buddies at Chuck E. Cheese.

Baseball





Thanks to a generous friend, we were able to take in a Angel game and it was Kid's Run the Bases day. Emma and Jonathan have done that before but it was still fun to be down on the field.

S.S. Lane Victory






Grandma Bea and Papa were in town for Meg's birthday and we took a tour of a WWII ship called the S.S. Lane Victory. It was interesting to see all the exhibits and walk around the ship.

VBS



Our Vacation Bible School was a success. Laura and Judi provided some wonderful drama for the kids, and Meg got to ride a pony at the fair on Friday.

4th of July





The 4th of July was a fun day of popsicles, fireworks, and tricks with the camera.
