The kids did swim lessons this year through Red Cross. It's always fun to see how they will do each summer. Bonnie swims pretty well at this point. She can go a decent distance but not yet the length of the pool. This summer it was fun to see her learn new strokes. She is working on getting across the pool, side breathing, and treading water.

VBS
The kids were very excited for VBS again this year. This year's theme: Egypt - Joseph's journey from prison to palace.
Riser was excited to go on stage during one of the performances.
Bonnie's favorite part was the crafts.
Riser liked the obstacle course - which he did about 20 times in a row.
Another great week - they've already been asking about when the next one is!

Silver Beach
With one week left before school started up again for Bonnie, we went on a little weekend trip to Silver Beach, on the Chesapeake Bay. Eric and I found the same house we rented 10 years ago in 2015. It was so special and nostalgic to come back now married with the kids. And the drive was so much easier coming from Southern Virginia!
We stopped at Kiptopeke State Park on the way.
Some pictures of the house now:

We has so much fun playing Yahtzee every night after the kids went to bed.

Bonnie and I were itching to go kayaking. She loved it!
More hermit crabs.
It was such a memorable trip, we are definitely hoping to go back again in the future. A great way to close out the summer!
