July has felt almost as busy as June with lots of activities: JH VB, HS youth service trip, and the Marion Co. Fair - which felt pretty normal this year! It has been good for the kids to participate in activities they enjoy, but I have definitely felt like a taxi-driver this summer! One thing I got started on at home was stripping wallpaper from the entryway, stairway, and the upstairs hallway. It ended up taking about a week to get everything pulled off, then another 2 weeks of mudding and sanding. We are still waiting on painting it a little longer since vacation is coming up!
Delaney was able to enjoy almost a full week of VB every morning in Hillsboro. What fun to see her working on skills for an entire week!
The youth group left for Rocky Mountain Mennonite Camp to work for a week. Caiden was ready to go, but Cambry was quite unsure. In all honesty, she was pretty nervous about being away from home for a whole week. But she got through it! AND, they both enjoyed white water rafting on their free day! Thankful for their week together as a group.
Cambry's fair projects this year included 5 photographs and 1 side table to go with the porch swing. She and Chelan came up with the design, and then Cambry did almost all of it on her own. I was so proud of her! She took it to the fair and received a blue after talking with the judge. Her photographs received 2 blues, 2 reds, and 1 purple, which turned into Reserve Champion for her class! This was Cambry's first year to work as an assistant for the photography judging. She was in charge of writing judge's notes down and recording which ribbon was received. I think she might have learned a lot by just sitting there and listening to the judge's comments.
One more awesome thing that happened in July was that Chelan received this official plaque noting his invention he created for AGCO. I guess I am officially married to an inventor!
