Summer Part 4- Week in Victoria

This is our third time to spend the week in Victoria and participate in VBS at church. It was fun like always, now that the kids are getting older they are starting to have fun with Mema and her love of shopping.   Here they are browsing the PB catalog, picking out new backpacks, lunchboxes, thermos and water bottles.

The girls cut flowers for Mema's birthday.

I was really bad at taking pictures during the week but I started out with a bang.   Here Hadlee is trying on a pair of sandals from our "Hannah stash of shoes".

We added some "new" ones for the fall.

These shoes finally made the dumpster.  They were the most worn shoes by Hadlee, EVER!  I'm pretty sure Hannah wore them a couple of times, Hadlee wore them everywhere!

We played Chinese Checkers.

I only took one picture of this cutie but got to spend some time with him during the week.

Mustaches from the movies in the morning and Chick-fil-A with the Shammas at lunch

"Back-to-School massages" for the grandkids (minus Haidyn).  Adrian did "bodytalk" on the girls and confirmed our knowledge of their deep competitive nature.

During VBS, Aunt Cynthia and I helped Donna with Storytelling.  She did an awesome job telling all the bible stories each night.  On the last night I got their helper to take pictures of the kids for me.
