What a crazy and fun week! So many things I want to blog about....so many things we have enjoyed....but not enough time to post it all today! Here are a few quick favorites that Sarah picked out for now...
Last Friday was our regularly scheduled nursing home services and shopping. Friday evening was a thunderstorm that took out our Internet...again. Saturday was a wedding of a young man we love a lot and have had the privilege of working with in the past. Saturday afternoon was laundry (still no washing machine at our house). Sunday in between church services was the American Girl Tea. Sunday night after church was time to say good-bye to some of our college students, then home to pack for camp. Early Monday morning our family and 4 of our young people from church drove to Rhode Island for school camp. The older children are at camp having a GREAT time and Sarah and I are having a great visit at her house with the younger kids. I have taken A LOT of pictures and cannot wait to post, but will just put up a few for now. We leave to go home at lunch tomorrow. Hopefully (Prayerfully!!) on Thursday our washing machine and Internet will be fixed. It has been fun to have Internet access at Sarah's though...I was going through withdrawals! ;)
Here is one picture from our American Girl tea. We had seven girls and each had a different American Girl Doll. Many of the girls tried to dress up like their doll...
(Insert Patch the Pirate music here...) "I'm going to camp! I'm going to have a ball..."
Ricky braved the zip line! MUCH more on this later!! (I am so very proud of him!)
Ryan thoroughly enjoyed the cat walk. He seems fearless. Ryan loved going upside down on purpose. ( Be still my heart...)
The kiddos at Aunt Sarah's house are having lots of fun. Here Jack is enjoying his "frog ice cream." (More on that another day.)
Hard to believe we are going home in the morning. Time always flies when I am with Sarah. How blessed I am to call her mine. She has completely spoiled us while we have been here and the kids will not be ready to go home. I have also thoroughly enjoyed my time with Paul, Stacey and Katie. Being an aunt is so much fun!

Tomorrow is my Daddy's birthday! I am grateful for his influence in my life. He is hard-working and dedicated. He gives his responsibilities a thousand percent and I admire his amazing work ethic. He is very organized and highly disciplined and I have learned so much from him. What a privilege to call him "Dad." Happy Birthday, Daddy! I love you!
Hope your week is as full of smiles as ours has been. Hope to chat with you all again at the end of the week.
And...
Thanks for stopping by here in Rhode Island!
