Summer 2007














Why is it that the summers always seem so full of activity and yet I cannot seem to remember what we have done for fun. I suppose that I should start at the beginning. We started our summer with a day trip to Boston. We took Elijah, Andrew, and Alison (the nanny,jk); We visited the aquarium and just had a great day walking in Boston and riding the trains and buses. Karen, Mindy, Karem, and Ayla came to visit in July this year and we had a huge bonfire and good visit.
August started with church camp, I never knew you could have so much fun with a bunch of church folk. We went hiking, canoed the Saco (which I don't recommend doing in the summer), rode horses, and just had a
fantastic time hanging out together. It is amazing how well the boys do camping and such.
We ended August by winning tickets to Six Flags New England. So on September 15th we headed to Mass to see Third Day in concert at this extremely overpriced theme park. Let's just say that the prices are not family friendly, and I would not have gone if we hadn't won tickets. We spent Friday night in a hotel and woke bright and early to go to the park on Saturday. Yet again, the boys amazed me with their behavior both sleeping in a hotel and at the park. They danced in the field at the concert, it was incredible.
This fall brings new adventures with the Newboys coming to concert in November and Tyler backpacking Bigelow with John and Josh. The Lord has blessed our summertime fun and not so fun activities, I pray that he has done the same for you.

Let us know about your summertime adventures by leaving comments, or you can learn more about ours by asking questions.
God Bless
