Your first VBS!

Robby and Emma's first vacation Bible School at Munster CRC. Both of you thought the first 3 days were a lot of fun but then you wanted mommy. Good thing mommy could go into your classroom for the last 2 days. Robby did a great job of singing at the progam. Emma you were too shy to sing in front of everyone. You both LOVED the music and the motions to the songs.

Our campground for the weekend, Twin Mills!

Robby had his first fall into the pond while he was fishing. He went in head first, mommy was there to save him. I am surprised it has not happened sooner!

We went camping for the weekend in Shipshewana. We had fun time looking around town and watching the horses pull the buggys.

Tonight was the Burger Bash car show at Church. You jumped in the jump house and got a balloon from the clown. We stayed by papa's car for a while.

Robby's first day of pedaling a bike!

Today Robby started pedaling his bike for the first time. We are so proud of you! What a big boy you are becoming. You keep growing up on us everyday. Would you please stop growing?

Riding the Train at Fair Oaks Dairy Farm. Robby was ringing the bell!

You both loved driving the tractors. What could be better than a John Deere?

Today we went to Fair Oaks Dairy Farm. It was sucha good time for both of you. We watched a 3D movie. Robby said "my favorite part is when the cow pooped"! Yep he did poop in the movie. Emma did not want to wear her 3D glasses. But liked the part when the water squirted her throughout the movie.

Tonight we went to the Gary Air show. We had a picnic and watched the planes. Emma was scared of the noisy ones but she liked the one that looked purple. Robby liked them all.

Emma you love to dress up. Lately you only will wear one of your nightgowns to bed, not even pants. It is so great that you are a girl...mommy loves it!

Today Robby and Emma went to their first movie. We made it through the whole thing! One hour and 30 minutes! We saw Kung Fun Panda and the best part was that it was FREE! We had a great time.

Robby loves the sparklers. He even liked daddy's big fireworks!

Watching daddy do the fireworks. Finally we don't have to wear rain coats and we can show off our red, white, and blue!

Big sparklers are so fun! Emma is wearing earphones around her neck she found these at Nana's house...she said "fireworks are too loud"! So she walked around with those on.

It was a rainy 4th of July but Roby and Emma did not notice the rain. They kept waving at the parade. If Robbby stopped waving Emma would tell him to keep waving. She REALLY liked getting the candy!

We went to Beecher's carnival and rode the smiley train. Robby loves to ride any kind of train.

Emma loves to fish and to pose!

Robby riding the bench on the merry go round. He did not like riding the horses.

Emma loved to ride the purple horse.

We love chocolate!

Eating my chocolate at Hershey PA after the chocolate ride.

Sir Top Em Hat at the Day out with Thomas. Yep the kids were still scared of the costumed characters. I think daddy was even a little scared of this one.

Emma and daddy fishing at the pond. This is where we camped in PA. We spent a whole day trying to catch somehting but caught nothing. The kids liked throwing bread to the fishes the best. They think their tackle boxes are for keeping the bread!

Thomas the train going by. Robby's favorite!

Meeting cookie Monster at our lunch with the characters. The came right up to our table!

The kids saying goodbye to PA. This is a picture of our camper. We love it! The kids love it! We can't wait to take even more trips...and make more memories!

All of the trees we trimmed in the shape of the characters. It was a hot day and we were ready to go home but mom wanted one more picture in the matching outfits.

"Thomas took us for a ride and he has lots of WAGONS"! Robby tells everyone he meets about riding on his favorite train.

Can you tell me how to get to Sesmae Street. This is one of my favorite pictures from our trip to PA. We had a blast. The kids loved it! They were so, so good. Although, they were scared of the characters as you can see from the pictures.
