Found a few pictures while clearing off my iphone.

Swimming with Friends

We travelled back to Hickory yesterday to spend time with our friends.  Today, we had a pool party/picnic/get together with the whole gang: the Sandidges, Parkers, Thayers and Whitfords.  It was so much fun to see everyone again...we picked up right where we left off!

 Reagan and Kara swimming

 most of the kids

 Reagan and Eden took a swimming break to watch a movie

Cooper opted not to make the trip with us - he had a soccer game he didn't want to miss (and the chance to stay solo with Gigi & Bubba was just too much for him to pass up!)

Swimming on Sunday

After Jesus House this morning, and lunch with our gang (no pictures~we had to much to say to take any!), we came back to the basement and spent the afternoon in the pool.

Backstroke ~ Cooper style

this boy has become a fish just like his sister

 super silly

 She looks so much older than 7

Saying "So-long" to the Sandidges

This evening, our Bible Study group had a "Saying So-long to the Sandidges" get together.  We have met together every Friday for the past 4 years ~ mostly to study the Bible, but let's be honest, there was a whole lot of fun going on too!  Our Bible study group was as close as family can be and we are going to miss them dearly.  So, this is not good-bye, but see you later...because we have formed incredible bonds that can't be broken by a few hours of driving and crossing a state line!

getting our swim on!

 of course, with this group any time there is a party ~ food is always a part of it!

Swim Social

We spent another afternoon at our friend's pool (who aren't home) with some more of our friends.

 I told them to make silly faces

Pool Play

We spent the day at our friend's pool (who weren't home), but other friends came along to join us in beating the summer heat!

Cooper loves the "little pool" (aka hot tub)

Reagan aka Fish

 the big fish were a big hit

He finally agreed to wear his "gobbles"
