Summer Fun Week 3

This week forced me to budge from our daily routine.  Patrick and Finnegan spent the mornings at our church for Vacation Bible School.  They had an excellent week and came home every day with really positive experiences.  

While they had different games and stations, including water games, legos and arts and crafts, I was most impressed about the outreach work the children did.  One day the children made over 600 sandwiches for the local homeless community and the next day they worked in the food pantry and gathered food for the Haiti Hunger Relief.  Now, that's a meaningful week at camp!

Make it Monday

This afternoon we made yummy sweet treats - blondies.  The boys changed up the recipe up by adding trail mix for a sweet and salty treat.  Not only did the boys enjoy it, but Gill did too!

Take a Trip Tuesday

While big brothers were at camp, Sully and I played a lot of board games - 

and he won every game!

 In the afternoon, we took a trip to Rock Hill with Nannie and Pop

to the Children's Museum.  The boys really enjoyed showing them the museum 

and it was a fun way to spend the afternoon.

Wet and Wild Wednesday

Sully and I spent the morning with Drew, Evan and Rebecca 

swimming in the pool, sliding down the water slide and having a picnic lunch.

I hate that I don't have any pictures from the afternoon, but we went to MJ and Bern's pool and swam all afternoon.  We used the gears, practiced kick-boarding and got PopPop very VERY wet!

Think About It Thursday

 Sully and I spent the morning with Melissa, Athena and Sebastian at the sprayground.  While it was overcast and not the best weather, the threesome was not discouraged. They played in the water, snacked and played some more until their lips were blue!

In the afternoon, we went to the library.  Patrick and Finn participated in the elementary school program with Professor Whizzpop where he magically explored reading and made the kids really enthused.

While the big guys were at the show, Sully (aka Robin) and I read all the Curious George books that the library had.

Fun with Friends Friday

VBS Week ended with a special performance for the families.  

The kids shared all the songs that they learned during the week.  

 We were all there to cheer on the big guys

In the afternoon, we met up with Patrick and Finn's friend from Kindergarten, Maisie.

Their sweet friend invited them for ice cream, because she wasn't able to make their birthday party. 

 We ended the week with a picnic dinner and swimming at the pool.
