Belle and Papa went on a "safari" (in Papa's words) and discovered a hummingbird nest! Belle came back with lots of scratches and bruises - but she thinks she'll be alright!
As always, the kids favorite part was the roasted marshmallows and smore sandwiches! As an added treat, the kids' cousin, Benjamin, spent the afternoon with us as well!
Mom and Dad left this morning for a two week trip out east with Jen, Peter, and Ben. How lucky we are that our "good-bye" was only for a two-week vacation, instead of only getting to see them for two weeks during vacation! Their departure means that for the next two weeks we (by "we", I mean Dave!) are in charge of the farm! We'll see if 14 consecutive days of being responsible for the farm makes it any less appealing to Dave -- my guess is that he'll complain that he barely got to spend any time farming!
This evening the kids started their week long vacation bible school, through our church, First Congregational UCC. This is Belle and Russell's second VBS of the summer, but the first for James! I have been appointed director of the arts and crafts portion of the week - and although "artistic" is most definitely NOT an attribute I'm blessed with, I think I'll be able to pull it off.
