How We Spent Our Summer Vacation - Part 2

The end of June was so busy for us!  During the last weekend we had an Adoption Blessing Shower for a dear friend of ours.  It was a beautiful Saturday morning, with sunshine, flowers and great food!  We showered our friend and her daughters with gift cards and scripture verses and spent time praying over them.  Wow!  You could feel Jesus in the room!

When girls get together...there's got to be good food!

Sweet fellowship, powerful prayer!

We can't wait for their next crew member!!  Sweet Little John!

On Monday of the following week we packed everyone up and headed to 

the Great Wolf Lodge to celebrate Madyson Claire's 11th Birthday!!

Randy met us there to have dinner with us and sing Madyson Happy Birthday!

Madyson opened all of her presents and then we had dinner at Granite City.

We stayed in a suite with an adorable area for the little kids!

We stayed for 2 nights and 3 days!  It was so much fun and we will definitely go back again!

Everyone loved running around the resort and seeing all of the fun decorations and animals!

We spent our 4th of July at home with lots of swimming, 

great food and excitement in the dark!

We took our "Annual 4th of July on the Porch" picture.

We made a delicious Red, White and Blue Trifle for dessert!

One of the other things we did a LOT of during the summer....

SWIM, SWIM, and SWIM!!

Katy is catching Beckham.  He loves to swim!  I mean it, this kid is a fish!

And while Beckham is jumping in over and over, Hudson will barely get in at all.

Here he is with Madyson, he won't let her touch him, just gets in and then gets right back out!

Ava Marie, Madyson and a friend taking time out of their playing to pose together.

These two had so much fun with their jumping challenge!

Can you see Tyler's football carry?  He is determined!

And that is all for today!  Stay tuned to next Wednesday for the final photos of our 

awesome Summer of 2015!
