SEASIDE PAVILION

We are actually having a lot of christian bands coming to our area.

 Last month we took all the kids to see Steven Curtis Chapman at the
Seaside Pavilion in Old Orchard Beach, Maine !!

Last time we went to see him there Dad was on a trip for work ,so he missed it.
And we only had Rohana and Hrutuja home then.

 Here we are waiting in the entrance line.

 Listening to the music.. we actually played a lot of his songs this past week so
the kids would know some of them,

Yes we took Rebekah, she loved being outside and hearing the music.

STORYLAND

My sister and I wanted to take the kids to Story Land
before the end of summer  , so we did... last month.

Stretching our leggs after an hour and half ride.

The safari ride .  We rode in the cage.

We had to ride the merry_go_round.

Rebekah loves it.

 Rohana hadh to meet Cinderella at the castle.

They drove the tractors.

Little miss Muffet.

Entrance was FREE but lunch was very expensive !!
But everyone had a great time .

YORK'S ANIMAL KINGDOM

We arrived early to work around Rebekah's schedule.

                                            Just a little excited

We saw all kinds of animal and had some great conversations.

Stood in front of the mirror that made you look funny.

 

                                                                   Austin and Gabriel  

                                             Hrutuja and Gabriel

                                               Rohana and Austin

                                             Rebekah and Hrutuja and Rohana.
            

At the end we went into the butterfly kingdom.

You could tell the little were a little apprehensive about the butterflies

And this beautiful one landed on dad's pants 

everyone was looking at it and then one landed on my arm.

As soon as Rohana saw one land on my arm she started screaming and crying.

Talk about sensory overload !!

After we got her settled down we went on some rides.

I never pass up the chance to go on merry go rounds with Rebekah.
And yes, that is Hrutuja not holding on.

Nate and dad on the bumper cars.

Practice driving because he is taking drivers ed. soon.

GOD IS GOOD

Not ready to go public yet, not all hurdles are jumped

But I can say GOD IS GOOD !!!

RIVER ROCK

Dad and I went to River Rock @ Sunday River (July 1 & 2)

                                          Schedule

                                          Selfie

                                          There is the stage.

Later in the after noon it rained off and on... uggg.
before the last band was to play we were told " we can do lots of things but
lightning is not one of them. We need to go inside for shelter...
So we missed Mercy Me because we went to our hotel before the storm came.
The next day we took a walk up the mountain and I was not feeling to well.

GONE

What a month..
 The week right after school ended the littles went to VBS.

 They had a great time !      Ocean Commotion..... Noah's Ark

And the week after that we had eye doctor and dentist appointments.
And during this very busy month we delt with PPRs for Rebekah and Gabriel.
Along with the once again NEW agency and their inability to NOT work with us.
We had to let the beautiful siblings file go....#*@?....ouch,....heart break !
I am at a loss for words.
