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

 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!

Final Friday

We spent our final Friday in town doing some things that can only be done here.

first up, we went to the science center

 the dinosaur exhibition is still going on and the kids loved it

 I've created a monster of my own!  Cooper used my phone all day to take pictures!

 I think this was their favorite place in this city

 we also went to the aquarium section of the center

 Cooper taking more pictures

 he touched the crab shells

 seeing "Smiley" one more time

 After the Science Center, lunch &grocery shopping...it was time to go to the pool

to say they have enjoyed having a pool out their back door is an understatement!

Tired

A long day of VBS, swimming and playing makes a certain 4 year old tired!!
