Summer Fun

I really want to get these pictures posted before time gets away from me. We have had such a fun time this summer here in OK. First here are some pics of the boys at home in their swimming pool and at the local pool when they took swimming lessons for two weeks back in June.

On the last day they let all the kids go through the big slide. The boys had such a fun time going to the big pool every day!


We also let the boys go to two different Vacation Bible Schools this summer. That was such a big part of our own childhood that we really wanted them to have the experience. Both boys had a blast each week.


And finally, last but certainly not least, you must see pictures of the boys playing t-ball this summer. I'm so glad they got to have this chance! The next time we come back to the States these two boys will be too big to play t-ball and they really won't have been able to keep up any kind of little league skills. They got to learn basic baseball skills while playing, but they also learned more perseverance and endurance than anything. The teams were non-competitive (meaning there was no score and everyone got to bat each time), so it really was all just for them to have fun. The perseverance came when they had to endure standing out in the sun while the other team would bat and just wait for the ball to come their way. I was really proud of the way they both tried hard and did their best. When asked what their favorite things were about playing t-ball, Joshua said being able to hit the ball (which he worked very hard at so he could do it). Luke replied that he just liked the snacks that they got after the game. :o) At least we all had fun!


One time Micah got away from me and ran out on the field to where Daddy was helping. :o) He just wanted to do what his big brothers were doing! And he wanted to be with his Daddy.


This is what the other two boys would do while their brother was playing. I took two towels each time for them to sit on and color or do workbooks while they waited. For the most part, this kept their attention and they did well at the games.


All-in-all there were only 6 games and about 4 practices for each boy. They learned a lot and got to spend some good time with Daddy in the process as he helped out on the field every time. So glad we did this!
