Summer Activities . . .

at least,  so far.  :)

First, Ashley got to go to Horse Camp! She got to do crafts, tacking up, leading the horse, walking, doing an obstacle course and other things. She even got a green ribbon at the horse show at the end of the week.

 Then, we had a backyard campout. Altoughh, we did not end up sleeping overnight -- too much excitement to actually fall asleep. But, we had hot dogs, smores, played baseball, and enjoyed the outside. This was practice for actually camping someday.  ;)

 And, we're doing gymnastics once a week. They loved it! They did somersaults on the cheese wedge mat, learned cartwheels. The girls went on the balance beam and the boys on the parallel bars and horse. And, of course, the crowning moment when they got to jump into the foam pit! Vinny did a canon ball in!

 And, we went to Vacation Bible School -- where kids STAND STRONG for God. They had great fun -- every day there were crafts, snacks, movies, games, and skits. And, they learned lots of songs and hand motions. Ashley told me this year, "I finally started dancing!" We have the CD, so the fun will continue all summer long!
