I can't believe it is already the end of July and it has been almost a week since my last blog post. Summer for sure is flying by. Amelia finished another week of VBS at our church on Thursday and started her 4th camp tonight at her new preschool (Central United Methodist Church). Every camp she has attended has been much different than the one prior to it: different theme, different songs, different activities and the number of children in attendance. And Amelia is not one bit tired of it. In fact, she gets excited going to a new camp each week and loves each and every one. The major difference with the last two camps is that they are at night (5:30pm till 8:15pm), which is pretty late for her given that she usually goes to bed between 7:30pm and 8pm. But she did well during the last VBS and was not tired at all when we picked her up (big plus is that they fed her dinner every night), so I expect that this week will go smooth as well.
The theme for VBS at Fairview United Methodist Church (our home church) was G-Force and included some great songs. We have been listening to those songs in the car over and over and over again for the past 3 weeks. There were a total of 108 children attending this camp.
While the rest of the week was rather low-key (except for boating on Tuesday) due to our unusual long hot summer here, we mostly played inside and cooled off in the evenings in the backyard. On Saturday, our neighbors, Megan and Mike, and I did a yard sale together to get rid of some stuff. Amelia sure had fun entertaining us while we waited on customers.
And for dinner, Mike and Megan and her little sister came over for a BBQ.We had lots of delicious food and a great time hanging out with our neighbors. We sat out in the backyard till it got real dark and even tried (I failed miserably at it) catching some fireflies.
And so has passed another week and soon it will be August and we will celebrate my little girl's 4th birthday. But till then we will relax (on our new reclining couch!) and enjoy those hot summer days.
