This past week flew by in a hurry, and just like that another week of summer is over. This week was a little bit quieter, we didn't have any softball this past week and we also didn't have Soccer Bible Camp this week either, so it was nice to have some more evenings at home.
I did take Emma to a painting/bible class on Tuesday evening, which was pretty cute. They did some bible stories, and then did a step-by-step painting class. It was fun to watch Emma be so focused and try her best to copy all the steps. Her painting turned out pretty well, and she was super proud of it.
The rest of the week was fairly quiet with evenings spent at home, playing outside and going for walks. On Friday, Dyllan and Lizz took the kids to a Canaries Game while John and I went to block party downtown to see the Eli Young Band. It was pretty fun, but it was pretty packed and hot as well. The kids did well for the Jensen's and it sounded like they all had a really good time.
My parents also came to town Friday night, so they were at our house to help put kids to bed and get them settled. On Saturday, John had a wedding to shoot in Brookings all day, so Mom, Dad, Emma, Eli and I spent the day together. We had so much fun! We started off the day going to Terrace Park and walking through the Japanese Gardens. We also had a picnic in the park, which the kids really enjoyed.
After some naps, we headed out to the McKennan Wading Pool to do some swimming. The kids loved this. They swam, and went down the slides, and played their little hearts out. After a good hour of swimming, we headed to Hy-Vee for supper. We had some really tired kids after that, and headed home for bedtimes.
Sunday was another hot, summer day. After church, we ate lunch and then stopped for some ice cream. We played at another park, and then my parents decided to head home. We spent the rest of the afternoon playing outside in the water, and enjoying the weather.
Today has been a great day! I had the day off from work, so I dropped Emma off at Vacation Bible School at 9, and then Elliott and I went to the zoo. We were there for a good 2.5 hours, and Elliott had such a good time. We saw all the animals and then played with the toys inside the museum. Afterwards, we went to McDonalds for lunch, and now he is napping away.
Later we have Emma's swimming lessons, and then Softball. It's going to be another crazy week!!
