The Dog Days of Summer


They're here alright. The heat, the sun, the lazing about by the pool, the bugs (Let's just forget about them, shall we?), the long afternoons of doing absolutely nothing, the insane vacations to overcrowded destinations. How could we Americans ever get along without summer? True, it's not my favorite season, but when April comes around I just can't wait to break out the sunscreen and taste a grilled hamburger. My summer so far has been pretty jam packed. Here are but a few moments from the past few weeks:

The pool is where my eleven-year-old sister, Katie (left), has spent most of her waking hours this summer. Our cousin Jewel (right) is an equally avid fan.

Ah, the classic congo line. Here we have, in order: my brother Thomas, my cousin Aurora, Jewel, Katie, and my sisters, Alicia and Julia. This was taken at my cousin's birthday party last Monday. We had a great time swimming and dancing to authentic Hawaiian music.
And, finally, here is a picture of my church's Vacation Bible School set. We worked long and hard on it. The program we're using this summer is Answers in Genesis' Incrediworld Amusement Park: A Thrill Ride Through God's Creation. VBS starts tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to it.
