Summer Vacation Week 4 - a little behind

Feeding the duck and a lot geese.

Crazy Brown kids.

Last Monday Sean took Jacob, Emma and Seth to a Fredrick Keys game. It was Seth's first baseball game. They all had a great time. The game went into extra innings. Sean was ready to come home at the end of the ninth but the kids wanted to stay so that they could run the bases. Lucky for Sean it only went to the tenth inning. The kids got to run the bases and really enjoyed it.

Tuesday was more swimming for everyone. Jacob is a great swimmer now. He jumps off the diving board. Seth is brave, which is a little scary. Emma is gaining more confidence in the pool.

Thursday the kids and I headed to Fredericksburg for a funeral of a friend. I am grateful for an old friend that watched my kids so that I could attend. Before the funeral, we headed to our old stomping ground, Locust Shade Park. We were able to feed the duck (there was only one) and many geese. The kids loved it. We also played on two playgrounds then headed home.

Saturday was the 4th of July. We went to a pancake breakfast at our bishop's house. We came home, Sean went to work and the kids and I rested for the afternoon. After dinner we headed to a friends house. The kids played then we watched the fireworks. It is the first time my kids have stayed awake for the fireworks. Everyone was asleep by the time we got home.

Sunday we got some not so good news about our church building. There is a problem with the occupancy permit so it will be at least another 6-8 weeks before we can meet in it again. So, we get to remain going to Winchester from 3-6pm. The drive does not bother me as much as the time. It is hard on the kids.
