The Summer Party Has Started

Hannah's last day of 3rd Grade was on Thursday at noon.  
What a victory!!  
Her first FULL YEAR of school since Kindergarten.  
Thank you, Lord!!!! 

For the past 7 weeks ALL Hannah has been able to think about is the 
Day Camp she had planned for some 3 & 4 year olds.

Really.  
All she could think about.
All she wanted to talk about 
.... for hours on end. 

There was a written schedule.  
Signs.  
Typed invitations to the parents.  

She, of course, was the Camp Director.
I was just the lowly Assistant.
 She had all the kids holding a jump rope walking to the backyard.  
One of the older siblings stayed & was a huge help (seen here bringing up the rear of the line!).
 This is Will from six houses down.   Adopted from China.  Same age as Lily. 
 All the kids except Lily ... she was too busy to get in the picture!
 Baking cookies.  
This is Teegan, from China, same age as Lily.   
How cool is that?
 Then Hannah & Meredith decided to have a full on water fight ...
 These camp leaders went crazy!
 Trying to take a group picture.  
Just call it Camp Shanghai ... 75% of the camp was born in China. 
 Lily being a nut!!!!!  Love her!

 And also this summer ...
Lily is playing T ball!!!!!
So cute!!! 
Here is Lily practicing her swing with the Coach.
 And the swing ....
 And the hit!!!
 Run, Lily, Run ...
 Getting to First!!!
 Touching the bag ... and holding her massively too large helmet!!

And, last but not least ..
if you need us ... 
 We will be at THE POOL!!!!!!!
 Having a good time ... making Summer Memories!!!
 Filling buckets ...
 Putting our toes in the water ...

 And I just couldn't resist this adorable summer photo .... 
How cute is she!!!!! 
 She checked out the big kids tube ...

 And of course made it all a party .. that's what life is for this girl!!
 Just about every minute is all good ..... when you are Lily!

 Unless it is the first day at the pool & Mommy forgot to bring "Baby" into the pool area.  
Good thing "Baby" was just in the car.....
These tears didn't last long.
But I did snap a picture ....
Sorry, Auntie Mom!!
We are already in Full Summer Swing ...
excited for Hannah to be off & the schedule to be relaxed!!

All God's best from HOME,
