What we've been doing...

Wow! It has been a long time since I have posted anything and I'm really sorry!!! We've been extremely busy this last month so here are some quick shots of what we've been doing!

Field day! Raining and cold but the little kids had a blast!

(Cal, farthest on the left)
Assembling games!

Playing duets!

Riding bikes! Cal learned to ride a two wheeler this summer!

Fixin' the RV!

Doing school...

And enjoying the pretty, fall leaves!

Fun in the Sun!!!

Well, the first day was sunny...the other two were cloudy! But we had a blast at Lake Freeman anyway! It was the last time we got to be there this year so I took some pictures!!!

Maggie and Kristen playing Five Crowns and being silly! Better watch out when those two are together! :)
Playing Banana-Grams!

Bubbles!!!! The little kids had so much fun with them!

Katleyn blowing bubbles! She's so cute!

Jed running a race! :)

Maranatha Bible Camp

Over the past week, we have been at Maranatha Bible Camp for the homeschool week! It was a blast! The camp was right on Lake Michigan and so we got to spend a lot of time in the water and pool. The weather was beautiful all but 1 or 2 days! Dad was speaking there along with Israel Wayne (his teen workshops were awesome!!!) and Jay and Heidi Saint John.

Here are some pictures!

Cal being silly! :)
Sorry that the colors aren't very good but I still thought it was a cool picture!

The beach...and sea gulls.

Ike...

We spent a lot of time in the Sweet Shop! :) They gave us a card so that we got everything free...I think we kind of took advantage of it!

Happy Birthday Mom!!!

For Mom's birthday we went to the Jefferson Point outdoor shopping mall!

Happy birthday!!!
A picture of Mom's cookie cake...the edges got a little smooshed on the way. :)

I just thought this picture was cute!

Arrgh! Let's find 'me treasure!

Earlier this summer, we had a treasure hunt for Cal and Jed! They loved it! And Cal was talking about it for several days afterwards!

Cap'n Cal reading the treasure map.
First mate Jed

The treasure: CANDY!

Unfortunately the box got a little torn up by the shovel. :)

Happy 18th Birthday Ben!!!

Happy Birthday!!!!

Sorry, this is extremely late, his birthday was actually July 13th. I know, I know, that's how late I am. :(

The favorite gift by far! An old civil war newspaper! It mentions different battles and even General Lee in there!

The classic shot, blowing out the candles!

Ben doesn't like cake so instead, I made him a cookie cake!

4th of July!!!

Happy 4th of July!!!

Our favorite spot to celebrate the 4th...Lake Freeman!

Our little fish!

Anna and Cal watching the fireworks.

I think it's safe to assume that Jed didn't love the sound of the fireworks!!! :)
