Busy Busy Summer

It's hard to believe that Summer is coming to an end. I think mostly it's hard to believe because We didn't have very warm weather this year. I can assure you that I am NOT complaining about that though. Even though it was a pretty cool summer and it rained..... A LOT, it was an enjoyable summer for us.
For whatever reason, I cannot remember JUNE... nothing significant is coming to mind. In JULY, we had the 4th of course. Let's see. On the fourth we went to the local parade with the theme being something about Snowmen..??? It seemed there were a lot more floats then the last couple of years with more people getting involved. The Fire fighters were out with their hoses getting people drenched! That is Bennie's favorite part. After the Parade we went to the Community appreciation day at the School. This is a nice event that has taken place for the past few years and seems to be a success. Inside the school they have a place to set up tables and sell baked goods, or home made crafts and such. Out side on the playground they have a whole carnival set up for the kids and the neat thing about it is that the tickets only cost .25 so it's very affordable. There are neat jumping tents for the kids. Climbing activities, Ring toss and the duck pond. Kids can win prizes and tokens. They have a "stress reliver" car that you can pay a dollar to hit it 3 times with a sledge hammer. This year I also noticed that they had a virtual reality "drunk Driving" test. Basically you wear this thing that makes every thing appear as if you were under the influence. I would have liked to participate in a way as I have never been or will ever get drunk in the future but I thought it would be fun to try and do your best. Didn't want the wrong impression though. "Abstain from all appearances of evil" right.... :D
July 10-11 I was involved in the Relay for Life in the Sault. This was a very emotional time but very beneficial in raising money for the cause. I beleive over all about 80,000 was raised.
The end of July was our churches anual Vacation Bible School. Bennie got to be in a class this year which was so exciting. He love Bible School, but was sorely disappointed when he never won the secret seat. He would cry and it was actually kind of funny.
August first my brother, Kevin married his girlfriend, Sara. It was a beautiful outside wedding. It was rainy all morning and then about 1.5 hours before the wedding the rain held off and they enjoyed a beautiful day.
The rest of August just sorta flew by.
We've really enjoyed our summer. This summer was filled with LOTS of family time betweent Ben, Bennie, and myself.
We got to spend a lot of time with our friends as well. It's been a long time since I have gotten to see Marcia as much as I have this summer. Also we spend a lot of time with our great friends Chris, Crystal, and Logan. Lot's of fun for sure.
I will be posting pics of the summer later on this week hopefully.
Until then, God bless you all and thanks for reading
