More Seaside Adventures

Well, I decided to start with pictures from our most recent adventure and work backwards. We had the chance last week to head to a coastal city with lots of friends from here, and a few from the states, for a week of fun, learning, and lots of eating! Our American visitors brought suitcases and suitcases full of Oreos, Butterfingers, and other priceless treasures, and they were all thoroughly enjoyed.

Papaw and Mimi got to be a part of this group again this year, which thrilled Sawyer and Lee Anna (and us, too!).
The adults put on a VBS for our kids during the week, and they chose to use one with a sports theme. Lee Anna has been talking about it and looking forward to it for weeks! The sports theme was lots of fun, and they came home every day telling me which games they had learned to play.

Here's Lee Anna (above and below) showing off some of her skills. If genes have anything to do with it, she doesn't stand a really great chance of becoming a star athlete, but she sure is cute!

And here is Jason with some of his good friends in a nice, friendly game of Steal the Bacon. These guys play for keeps!

The kids dressed up and put on a program for us, singing all the songs they had learned during the week. They were too cute in their little sports attire.

Such sweet friends!

Lee Anna actually did the motions this year!

And here's one shot of the view from our hotel room. Beautiful.
It was a wonderful week, and we're already looking forward to next year!
