Out and About

I don't have any idea of how summer has simply passed us by so quickly! I had intended to do a crafty project/post at least once a week and get this house into shape! :) Well, I regret to say that my house has been cleaner and we have only completed a couple of craft projects (one being shakers for a program at the library and another was adding food color to vanilla pudding to let the kids, including Ian, paint with it-both of which were enjoyed by all).

We have had many adventures and I will soon post pictures to go with our adventures. McKenna, Asher and Ian all dressed as cows for Cow Appreciation at Chick Fil A. This was a fun day where we enjoyed eating and seeing everyone else in their cow costumes! We have attended VBS in the local park, eaten lots of ice cream, gone berry picking, gone to the county fair, gone to kids' summer movies at the theater and library programs.

There are still adventures to be had but this week, we had an especially fun time at Ride the Ducks (Newport, KY). If you haven't done this before, I highly recommend it! It could be a bit pricey (as seen on the website). However, we got a great deal for a tour at 10am for $10! It was well worth it and many children and families from our church went along as well. I think it's safe to say that everyone had a blast!

Another deal I wanted to make sure I pass along is one that we found at Blockbuster today. McKenna and Asher both signed up for Camp Wannawatchamovie. For $5, kids can sign up and rent (one movie at a time) as many movies as they like for a month. You can exchange your movies (from the kid/family section) even in the same day if you wish. Kids got a cinch sack backpack with a camp card and coloring sheets when they signed up. My big kids are pretty excited and when they finish swim lessons tomorrow we are headed to exchange movies!
