Vacation Bible School!

The kids are ready for singing in their final performance of camp.

Kelsey's favorite counselor, Vera, who is from Australia and has the accent to match!

We took the vacation bible school experience by having (2) counselors stay at our house Sunday - Thursday during the camp. All 3 kids loved the experience of having Casey and Kyle at our house and they thoroughly enjoyed the camp and learned some great songs.

Kelsey saw me recording this clip. Gave the "thumbs up".

Fun at the Zoo

Always a fun exhibit, the family took in the Sparky the Seal show on Father's Day. It was a nice day, pleasant weather, overall a very nice trip. Visiting the Como and Minnesota Zoo's are always a favorite.

Kelsey isn't so sure about the giraffe.

Kelsey and Kayleigh both took advantage of the free face painting

for the opening weekend of the African exhibit.

WHOA! The giraffe loved that wheat cracker!

Working on the jump shot

Keaton's taking a keen interest in basketball and now uses the outdoor hoop at it's lowest level. He's a pretty good shot.

Our Little Artist

Kelsey had her artwork chosen as one of 3-4 at Jefferson Elementary to be framed and posted around the school. At the conclusion of a month, all area artists that were chosen were included in a special event at the local Paradise Theater for the Performing arts. Here is Kelsey by her artwork at the exclusive "artists only" pre-viewing.

New Hairdo!

At Jefferson Elementary, the kids have a "wacky hair day". Kayleigh's hairdo was quite "interesting" and incorporated an empty water bottle inside. Kelsey, had lots, and lots of pig tails!
