Day at the Fair
Our county fair always does a free Kid's Day . . . so this morning we went to the fair! Jackson wanted to immediately see the animals, so we went around to the show barns to visit all the farm animals. Then he spent a lot of time climbing on the old tractors, pretending to drive them, and shelling and grinding corn off the cob. He also really liked the hay maze and the carousel. Kinsey really liked seeing the animals too and riding the carousel.
Amanda's Wedding
After a crazy week at camp, we went to Danville on Saturday for my friend Amanda's wedding. It was a gorgeous day for an outdoor wedding and they even arrived at the reception on a boat. We were so glad to be able to celebrate with her and visit with friends from LCC. Congratulations Geoff and Amanda!
Camp Illiana
Dave once again, lead music for Junior High camp at Camp Illiana. We tagged along this year and had a great time . . . though we were exhausted by the end : ) Jackson loved fishing in the pond, going down the waterslides and swimming in the pool. The second day he went fishing, he caught 2 bluegill all by himself. Kinsey loved playing with all the other kids and swimming in the baby pool. Daddy even took her down the really big "homemade" waterslide, though she wasn't all that crazy about it.

Cardinal's Game
We had a great time at the Cardinal's game last Friday night (7/17). 
The weather was perfect, our seats were great, Jackson got a baseball from the grounds crew after fielding warm-ups, Carpenter was the starting pitcher, they hit 3 home runs (Albert with 2), the Cards won 6-1, Fredbird played peek-a-boo with the kids and we all had a lot of fun. Thanks Papa and Grammy for sharing the tickets!

A Day at Carlyle Beach
We enjoyed a fun day at Carlyle Beach with some friends. Jackson LOVED exploring the shore and playing in the water. Kinsey LOVED playing in the sand and could have done without the water all together! We had sand EVERYWHERE, but definitely something we'll be doing again soon!

Our Friday . . .
My parents took Jackson and my niece Claire to see 101 Dalmatians on Friday morning. They loved the show and got their picture taken with one of the little actors . . . so cute! While Jackson was gone, Kinsey and I went to the pool. She asked for "brother" all through breakfast and then after naptime. I think she missed him a little : )
Crocodile Dock
This past week our whole family participated in Summer Spectacular (VBS) at our church. Since Dave and I were both helping, Jackson got to go to the 2's and 3's nursery where they got to attend portions of the programs and Kinsey was in the baby nursery and got to play. 
On Sunday night, we had a family carnival with inflatables and face painting, which the kids both LOVED! And Jackson loved the "Crocodile Dock" material . . . they did a great job decorating and he especially enjoyed it since we have really been talking about Moses at home and that was the bulk of the lessons too. So it was really great enforcement for him to learn those stories again, do a craft about them and play games about them. Here are a few pictures from our week!

Bill and EJ's Wedding
My cousin Bill got married on Saturday. We really enjoyed sharing in their day and visiting family. 
Kinsey was excited to see my cousin Traci's little girl Ella . . . she really likes babies. And she obviously enjoyed her PB&J in true "Kinsey-form" at the reception that we brought for her. Jackson wasn't really into getting his picture taken, so I never got a single picture of him at the wedding!
It was a beautiful wedding despite the rain . . .we wish them many blessings on their new life together! And then of course, a video of Kinsey enjoying the music and showing us her "moves".

My Kids: A Fish and A Monkey
We spent the morning at a friend's house and I certainly could see the different personalities of my children. I put Jackson in his floaties and he hopped into the pool, swimming off like a fish with his friends 
(even though the water was very cold!). He really does love to swim and play in the water. On Friday, Dave was off and we all went to the CC pool and he jumped off the diving board several times and loved it! Now this morning, I let Kinsey down to play only to look over at the swingset/fort and see her standing inside. She had climbed up the ladder all by herself to the very top! She is certainly my little monkey, climbing up on anything she can find and getting into EVEYRTHING imaginable! A few weeks ago, she learned how to climb up both levels of ours to the top as well (almost 7 ft. high). She can be a little braver than I would like sometimes! It is amazing how these two very different little people can come from the same parents and live in the same house . . . yes, they do have many similarities too, but I love watching them grow and learning how God has uniquely wired them . . . now just wait until there is a 3rd! : )
