Early Horse Show - October 2006

We have been at Vacation Bible School this past week. Catherine, Nathaniel, and I were helping; Isabel, Julianne, and Lucas were campers. This is the first year in 10 years that I have not had a little one at home and was able to help.

Very First 4-H Visual Presentation!

I did not realize how tiring Vacation Bible School was!

Really.

It is only 3 hours in the morning. I was ready for naps all week long!
