Where to start?

As you have propably already guessed I have been very busy lately! Since we have been home from China we have done VBS, had out of town company, gone to Sliverwood, and been to the beach! So, I will start with VBS and go from there...
This year was Arianna's first VBS and she loved it! Every day she would ask if we were going to VBS again tomorrow. She really enjoyed the songs and doing the hand motions along with it.
On the last day of VBS Arianna's best friend Lauren and her mom Deanna came to visit us! It was a really wonderful visit and I feel so blessed that they live close enough that we can get together, and that the girls' can see each other.
The day after Lauren and her mom left, we went up for a day trip to Silverwood. All the kids had a great time riding the rollercosters and playing in the water park.

This last weekend, we left for the beach and spent three days there. In a interesting turn of events we found out that we would be going to the same place at the same time as Lauren's family! So, we decided to just stay together. We had so much fun! We spent one whole day at the beach, we had a campfire and roasted hot dogs and just relaxed and enjoyed ourselves. It was really great! I came home feeling much more relaxed and calm. Now it is time to think about school as the kids' will be starting soon!
