I realize this is a belated Happy 4th of July post, but time easily gets away from me on these gorgeous July summer days. I cannot believe it has been in the 80's most of the month. I remember shuddering at the thought of even going outside this time last year because it was so stinkin' hot. Last week was fun! I officially became a member of the facebook crowd (I think social sites are pretty cool and have linked me with many friends from my past), we got to go to VBS at Alvaton Church a few nights, celebrated Paul's birthday at Mariah's and went to Summer CELEBRATION at Lipscomb. Actually, Matt went to Lipscomb with Karson and Isaac on Wednesday night, and I joined them on Friday (sans Miles-ie-pooh who stayed the night with Pap and Nana). Karson could hardly wait to go to CAMP as she called it. In fact, we've decided that Celebration will become our church summer camp and plan to attend annually. Friday afternoon was a family picinic in the Allen Arena mall and kid-zone with blow-ups, booths and music. Acapella performed that evening and the fireworks were AMAZING. I encourage everyone who can to be a part of this event next year. I mean, WOW, Lipscomb sure can throw party!
Fanning Hall Suite 206 will never be the same. Why no, that wasn't my children who flooded the bathroom!
The lovely view from our prison cell, I mean dorm room.
Isaac was thrilled about his new "dinosaur" sleeping bag (as he likes to call it). Karson, on the other hand, could've used the space in his bag but settled for the toddler-sized sleeping arrangements.
Besides the shower stalls, the kids other favorite place--the top of the floral chest of drawers. I know it's hard to tell, but this chest sets the concrete room off and gives it that homey feel.
WE LOVE PF CHANGS but will settle for AUGUST MOON CHINESE FOOD. We lunched here with Grant and Windy. 
My battery was low so I didn't get any photos from the kid-zone. I know you're disappointed, but to cheer you up, I've posted a photo from Lipscomb's website of the fireworks that evening. Happy belated 4th!!!
Summer celebration sounds like it would have been fun to go to. I know Cassidy would enjoy it, maybe even Mitchell too. We might have to try it next year.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get any good firework pictures either this year.
Looks like you all had a great time. Happy belated 4th.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you all had a lot of fun. It was good to see you last week!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're one of those spoiled kids who never had the priviledge of calling a dorm "home." Gilbert's one of those too. Oh, how he (and you?) missed out!
