All of our planned summer activities and camps were all over by the last three weeks of August. So we spent several days here and there at my parents house while they were in California for 6 weeks. Kind of like several mini-vacations. We also took the kids roller skating - first time for Jason. We had a blast! We also took another trip up to Lancaster to go to Dutch Wonderland Mini-Golf, since we couldn't fit that in to our day at Dutch Wonderland in July.

Then it was time to meet the kids' new teachers at school, pack up their backpacks and start the new school year. Meredith is now in 4th grade; Jeremy is a third-grader.

July and August: Beach Trips

While Jeremy and Meredith were each away at camp, the rest of us took trip to the Delaware Seashore State Park and Rehoboth Beach boardwalk.

July and August: Summer Camps

This was a summer full of camps. July brought Sports Camp and Vacation Bible School at church. Meredith and Jeremy attended Sports Camp, spending their mornings learning archery, frisbee golf, street hockey, basketball, wiffle ball and volleyball. VBS was the last week of July, and all three kids enjoyed the High Seas Expedition program. Meredith brought a friend all week. The church put on a fun fair with a moonbounce, several waterslides, a dunktank and hot dogs and cotton candy.

Jeremy and Meredith each got to spend a week away at Bible camp, Cedarbrook Camp in Pennsylvania. This was a first for each of them. Jeremy's week was first. Meredith went two weeks later, the first week of August.
