There is so much to write about our Treck with the youth and when I get the pictures off of my camera I will write the whole experience.
Treck was amazing. I learned two great lessons from the experience. First, it renewed my faith in the world. My kids are going to be ok. They really can grow up in this crazy world and still be great kids. Second, it strengthened my testimony that the faith of people can bring forth miracles great or small.
This year I was in charge of our neighborhood 4th of July party. We had it on the night of the 3rd. I think it went really well, but of course I didn't really get to enjoy it because I was running around making sure everyone else was having a good time. This year the girls decorated their bikes for the bike parade at home so they really got into it. Everyone but Eliza went with an animal theme. Addie was a monkey, Lillie was an alligator, Jaynie was a zebra, and Eliza just wanted to be patriotic. I think she was nervous about doing it different than she has done in the past, like maybe she was breaking a rule or something. I tried to tell her that I made the rules but she didn't care. The best part of the whole night was the fireworks. Whit went to South Carolina to get them and it was like watching a real show but super close up. Penny, however, did not appreciate how close we were, she did not enjoy the show.
On the fourth we just kind of had a lazy day. We went to the gym and then spent the rest of the day at the pool with the Browns. We finished off the evening watching the Lewisville fireworks from our neighborhood.
Whit scored four tickets to our local minor league baseball team- The Dash. The tickets included an all you can eat buffet complete with all you can eat Krispy Kreme doughnuts and a purple chocolate fountain. We took the oldest two girls and despite the 99 degree weather, we had a blast.
