Walking in St. Augustine

We're having a good day in St. Augustine today. We got up and hit the
beach by 8:30am, played there until 9:30am, then met Mom Emery in St.
Augustine for an afternoon of walking and shopping. What fun!

A Really Busy Week

We've been on the run all week, with Stephen and Megan at Art Camp every
day, Jacob going to different activities with church and friends, and
helping at VBS every night. I spent last week doing everything I could
to get stuff done before I took two weeks off, and Sue and I plan out
the next few hours when we get a few minutes with each other. Whew!
I'll be glad when we slow down a little next week!

Good Time at Stone Mountain

We had a good time at Stone Mountain yesterday. We walked up the
mountain (even Kevin!), and enjoyed the breeze and the view up there.
We rode the cable car down, and then went to the water flumes for a
couple of slides and dunks, then ate a picnic dinner on the lawn and
watched the laser show. It was different going on a Tuesday, but it was
much less crowded and we all had a great time. What fun!

Sue and the kids home from AR

They had a good time camping with Libby and Taylor, but Sue and the kids
were really glad to be home. They did well driving so far, and they had
a really good time visiting Mason and Shannon Booth near Huntsville. I
was really glad to have everyone home, too - the house seems so big
without them around (but definately not quiet :-)

Now we get to gear up for the rest of the summer.

Working the Gernium Festival

Jacob and I went to help fry vegetables with his Boy Scout troop today.
This is their only fundraiser throughout the year, and they make enough
to fund the troop's activities for the whole year. We fried green
tomatoes, cauliflour, sweet potatoes, and onion rings. It was hot work,
but everyone did a good job.

Happy Birthday, Jacob!

Today is Jacob's 14th birthday! We're celebrating it on the run, doing
soccer this morning, working with the Scouts at the Geranium Festival in
McDonouigh, and then a basketball party with his friends at the church.
What a day!

Visit from Dan

We had a special treat this evening - Sue's brother Dan dropped by for a
quick visit! It was a good surprise - he called around 5:30pm and said
he had a little while and could come by. We had some pizza and caught
up on all the things happening in our families' lives. It was very nice
of him to take some time out to see us!
