OK... That Happened... July 18, WV

 

So... last night at VBS, Olivia decided it would be fun to paint a mustache on my face.

 

 

The church had rented inflatables for the last night of VBS, and about thirty minutes into the fun of racing through the obstacle courses and jumping in the bouncy house, it started pouring rain. But we didn't stop! It turned the inflatables into giant waterslides! It was tons of fun, and we got soaked to the bone.

Once we all looked like drowned rats and were drying off and shivering in the pavilion, our friend Olivia decided to paint this handlebar mustache on Rebecca! Then this morning, it wouldn't wash off! So she has looked like this all day. Hopefully she won't still look like this for church and the church picnic tomorrow....

At the Beach!

 

A few weeks ago, Rebecca and I went to the beach for a week-long family reunion. We had an awesome time, as always, and I took some photos for you all.

It was a five hour car ride the second day, so we stopped at Sonic.

Traveling

 

There were about 45 family members staying at the beach house this year.

 

The ocean was pretty rough this year, since a small hurricane was coming. We still found ways to have a good time:

 

 

 

 

Down at the beach!

 

 

 

Although I've seen thunderstorms that did more damage than "Hurricane Arthur" did, it washed up some interesting things Friday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The rest of the time, it was gorgeous weather. Although the ocean was so rough, we could only really play in it one day, we still had fun playing in the sand. As usual, Wednesday night all of us younger cousins got together with butterfly nets and flashlights and caught enough crabs to fill four buckets. When we let them go, we didn't give a warning that we were dumping out the 50-some crabs and the aunts and older girl cousins shrieked and screamed and did this little jumpy-dance thing like a jig. It was fun to watch. ;)
