Summer Fun!

Here's some pictures of the fun we've been having this summer.

On Nathan's birthday, we went to the pool. It was TOO HOT to go to the one close to us, so we decided to go to a pool that is completely indoors. Ahh, the joy of having a pool pass. I can go to any pool in the county. Nathan actually went down the little slide too! Matthew, of course, has no such problems. There's nothing he fears at the pool. He's like a fish. Nathan is a little more cautious.

Here are some of Nathan's cake and opening presents. He really liked everything he got, plus he's rolling in some dough. My Aunt Cheryl sent him $10 (Your thank you card's coming!), and Jeremy's parents sent him a gift card, so he (or I) will get to do some shopping. I'm trying to decide if I should be practical with it, since he could use another pair of jeans or two for school.

Last Saturday, our church had their carnival to celebrate the end of Backyard Bible Club. Instead of having one HUGE Bible School at our church, we go out into the neighborhoods and have Bible Clubs. We had over 20 this year all over the county. There were three just near us. Then, the church has a big carnival to bring everyone together. There are jump houses, games, and free food. (That's why we go. :-D ) It was unbelieveably hot, but thankfully there was just enough of a breeze to make it bearable.

Today, we got out the slip and slide that Matthew got for his birthday. It took a little while for us to figure out how to get it to work, but we were finally able to. Our yard is not very smooth or open, so they had to be careful how they slid, but they had a good time. I only let the water run for about 20 minutes since we are still under some watering restrictions, but I decided that since we don't water the lawn, this was OK. Hopefully, no one will turn me in since this is an odd day, and my address is an even number.

It's hard to believe our summer is over half done! I go back to school four weeks from Monday, and school starts five weeks from Monday. It's going by so fast.
