Creekside

Every year Uncle Steve and Aunt Jennifer host a little overnight camp for children 12 and under at the Bomberger farm.  It truly is amazing all the work and details they put into this event.

We just want to say a great big THANK YOU and GOD BLESS YOU!

 

The nautical theme this year was "Anchored in Jesus"!

 

Little orange boats "sailing" on blue jello.

This is a watermelon boat sporting a Creekside sail.  There is a helm at the front and life float rings tied to the sides.

 

She did a very wonderful job!

My Grandpa made 4 corn hole games for everyone to enjoy.

(Benjamin really enjoyed playing!)

 

The plasticware was wrapped and then tied with "lifesaver" floats.

See what I mean, the details were amazing?!

 

Thanks to Curious George and his boat folding instructions the centerpieces were adorable! 

 

Games, games, and more games!

 

The kids got to make boats from pool noodles and raced them do to see which one would win!

 

In the evening after a fun filled afternoon, Uncle Steve led a very enthusiastic song service and then did a nautical theme devotional.

Bike Ride

We invited our church youth group to go on a 9 mile bike ride through amish country on Saturday.

25 bikers joined us! 

  

Benjamin is wondering, "Hmmm, does everyone have a bike to ride?" :)

Some bikes needed tune ups before the ride.

Are you ready?!

 

Sorry for the blurry picture. 

We had games and enjoyed a bonfire. 

Then those that wanted to could go on another bike ride (race) for 7 miles. 

Would you like to go a bike ride with us?

We'd love to have you.

This & That

 

 Our neighbors gave us three chrysalis in a jar that eventually turned to butterflies.
 It was really cool to watch.
 

 Daddy was weedwacking and saw a bunny nest that had three adorable bunnies in it.
 

One evening on our bike ride we saw a hot air ballon so we turned around and followed it!  It went by our house so I stopped and grabbed the camera! Joy and I kept following it.  The chase ended when it landed about 2 miles from our house.  It was dusk so I didn't get very good pictures.

 

 

 

 

 Deep in thought!

 

Amish take turns having church in their homes.  So approximately once a year it will be  your turn.  Chris and Katie, our neighbors across the street, brought up a traditional Sunday dinner (lunch) to us on Monday after they hosted church.  Home made bread with sweet peanut butter, cup cheese, apple snitz pie and regular apple pie were on the menu.  We love our neighbors!!!
