As you know, my parents celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary in July and they really wanted all their kids to go visit them, so the Lord worked it out for us to spend a month with them. We were able to work out the details of our stay with Danny & Irene so that our visit would be a complete surprise for my parents. I'll never forget the look on my mom's face as we all burst into their bedroom first thing in the morning!
Anyway, we had so much fun all together. I'll be doing lots of 'summer' posts but I will try to let the pics speak for themselves. This first post is of the first weeks of summer, before our trip to Mexico.
We spent a week with Mark & Amanda in Sorrento. Their place is beautiful and the neighbors have horses, which Justin loves! It's funny, when Ben was Justy's age his favorite animal was also a horse.
Enjoying the hammock.
Picking cherries.
I had never seen so much fruit on a tree.
The kids all helped to pick and pit the cherries and then Daddy made delicious cherry pie!
Trying to get them to pose.
Check out the background. It's so beautiful!
While in Sorrento the kids attended a week-long Bible camp. The theme was Egypt and they learned all about creation vs. evolution, how the body is made, etc. It was a really good program and it was free!
Every day they made different crafts that went along with the verse they learned. They were super excited about wearing the flip-flops they made.
Back home helping Daddy harvest the veggies from the garden they planted. 
The first 'fruits' of their labor.The garden has been producing so much that we're not able to eat it all!
