We had so much fun baking in the scorching Texas heat, that we forgot to do much documenting. So I decided to compile it all here and now and do a Wonderfully Delighted Family summer recap.So sit back in your AC and enjoy the ride.
First up our Annual trip to Beaver's Bend.
We came across this cabin up at Beaver's Bend
last year, purely by dumb luck and fell in love
with it all- the cabin, the park, the town, all of it. We were so excited to be able to go back again this year.
All packed and ready to go!
Typical picture of my kids.
Either they make funny faces or they
don't look at the camera at all!
Keeping cool in the water!
We got to see the Statue of Liberty-
in Oklahoma?!
All those hikes in the woods to find Big Foot and we happen to find him at a shop on the highway!?

All relaxed and headed back to reality!!!
Next up- a week long Vacation Bible School.
The extremely generous friends at The First Presbyterian Church welcomed our girls to vacation bible school that lasted a whole week.
They had such a blast!
The Beast wasn't old enough to go to VBS so he had to hang with Mom.
We also were very fortunate and were awarded by The Hubster's work for helping him make a special project for a class he taught. The Brat Pack got to get all dressed up and go to Daddy's work for a special surprise. In hindsight I maybe should have told them what was happening so that I could have explained the proper behavior they should exude. I don't know how, but I forgot that Ky Bug has no filter from her brain to her mouth, however she definitely entertained the entire room of The Hubster's co-workers. 
We got to play with our cousins at the Sprinkler Park. Well the girl's loved it, The Beast wasn't quite too sure. Let me tell you sprinkler parks are a mother's dream- the kids get to play in water and cool down, while mom doesn't have to worry so much about them drowning. I want one in my backyard! But that's for another day. 
Grandpa got a horse!!!
We decided to perform a Random Act of Kindness.
We made chocolate covered pretzels and presented them with a cold bottle of water and a RAOK note in our mailbox for our mail carrier. Weeks later we decided to start visiting the church the girl's attended VBS only to have our mailman introduce himself to us. Small world here in BFE.
Independence day!!!
BBQ, Family, Fun, Fireworks.... need I say more?
Let us not forget the ultimate fun we have been enduring with a certain three year old Beast
in the form of potty training! I repeat Ultimate Fun!!
Daddy took The Beast to
potty on the four wheeler. How exciting!
The Rodeo.
The Hubster, Miss Priss and I had loads of fun at the rodeo.
Ky Bug cried and whined the entire time to go home, and The Beast fell asleep.
All in all they got to dress up in their cowboy gear so it was worth it
That's right. That sticker means she rode The Bull and lived to tell about it.
A Day at the Park.
The State Park that is.
You see that? That sisterly love?!! That is what makes it all worth it!
RAOK # 2
The Brat Pack and I decided to buy some school supplies for a few of our friend's kids starting school. They were very grateful!
Three nights a week this
is what filled our hot nights.
But it did allow us many visits to new restaurants.
Summer started winding down and we had to get ready for school.
We got haircuts.
Mommy and Daddy signed up for College!!!
.
The Brat Pack behaved so well during the entire process.
All third graders received Bibles at church.
It sure felt like we were running non-stop the entire summer but not so much when put on paper. Isn't that the way it always is though? Well, we sure had tons of fun and tons of headaches but we wouldn't change any of it for the world. Bring on the Fall!
Summer's End
