VeggieTales. Calvin, Olivia, and I have all the words memorized to the "Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" song. We listen to the soundtrack from the movie all the time, there's quite a few songs from it we could sing for you.
spent some time with Spidey....
Ellie LOVES making tents. and then playing a game or doing a puzzle in the tent.
probably the most popular activity this summer has been duct tape. did you know you can make ANYTHING out of duct tape?? we started with wallets, folders and purses. then we moved on to more advanced things.
Calvin had made himself a whip, so then we thought, why not make a full Indiana Jones get-up? i made him a hat and a pistol. he made the pouch.
i made Ryan a sniper rifle.
Calvin and Ryan playing with their guns. i think they killed Jacob.
dance praise. the "christian DDR". fun times.
the Santa Barbara zoo.
the giant ant-eater. Leah and I decided this must of been the first animal God created. He wasn't quite sure what He was doing yet. :)
Jacob, Ellie, and Grace playing on a turtle statue. it's hard to get ellie both smiling and looking at the camera at the same time.
of course, what's a trip to California without going to the beach?
Ryan and Jacob trying to catch waves.
pokemon. my summer has been filled with pokemon. i had no idea it was still so popular...but maybe i just didn't hang around enough 8-10 year old boys in Indiana. we draw pokemon, play pokemon, watch pokemon, eat pokemon macaroni and cheese...etc.
and while visiting some friends in Orange County, i got to see the wonderful TBN building. the only thing i've ever learned from that station is "pick up the phone, pick up the phone!!! pledge now!!!"
and that's my summer in a nutshell.

I could sing to you almost ANY Veggie Tales song. The Madam Blueberry one is my favorite! (wow)
I am blown away by your duck tape skills! Amazing, that's why God put you on this earth! To make knock-off movie props out of duck tape! (Kidding).
Geez, you totally forgot to mention the joy of data entry you were able to experience.
And sunburns.
Looks like so much fun!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing!
You forgot the best part...circus midgets. I have one waiting for you when/if you ever get back this way. Thanks for being so good to my babies. Even I don't draw Pokemon with them...You Rock!
