Vacation Bible School

Millikins had the opportunity to go to a VBS (Vacation Bible School) at a local Lutheran Church this summer. She had a blast! There was Christian based dance music and friends to play with, a winning combination no matter how you look at it!

Picking up our friend on the way to VBS on the first day, I think she's a LITTLE excited.

You just have to love her fashion sense.
The theme was High Seas, and they decorated the stage like a ship. It was amazing, and so much fun. The two leaders up front wore Gilligan hats and blue tie-dyed shirts.
This was Millikin's group leader, Ms Sue.
Such a sweet lady. It was her first year here too.
On Thursday after camp, the Church had set up for a show by a local entertainer, Eric Haines.

Hilarious!

For both the kiddos and the adults.

I think Millikins just saw herself a stilt walking pirate!

Lulu got in on the apple slices action. Don't worry, she just munged it and didn't actually get any chunks off; no teeth yet.
Can you guess what they yelled for this mob to form?

How about 'FREE POPSICLES!"

The kids came in hordes!

Millikins was waiting to get her turn to get one, but kept getting pushed out of the way by others. I had to go up and wiggle her into the front so she could get one.









VBS was a great experience for all of us. Millikins had a great time learning the songs, of which we have the cd and listen to it at least once a day. She had a great time hanging out with new friends and having some time away from Lulu and I.
We will be looking to do this again next summer for sure!

South Dakota Smores

What is camping without smores?!

Aunt Jaci helped out Millikins do the first smore.




The moment of truth.

Will Millikins taste something that is so delicious but messy?

NO! Uncle Jerry takes one for the team and eats it up.
He said it was his first smore; can you believe that!?

Millikins loved helping roast the marshmallows.
But, she never did try a full on smore.
She stuck with eating the 'raw' marshmallows.

Even Lulu got in on the action, give me some!

Check out that hand!
Getting a hand (wipe) from Uncle Jerry
It is very hard work getting the perfect marshmallow.
Dave and I ended up in a competition because I was able to make the golden brown outside with the inside all melted and gooey. Dave was also able to do this, but not every time. Hence the competition. He had to try and beat me; but I won! :D

Meeting Family in Butte

Visiting Aunt Katie

A photo of a photo of Dave's last visit with Aunt Katie; he's the middle child here.

Cousin Linda
Glenda, Linda, Larry, Dave, Aunt Katie
Who can resist tickling the baby's toes!?
I haven't met anyone yet.
Goodbyes are always hard.
Especially after an almost 2 week vacation on the road.
When you're three.


It was so great to meet this part of Dave's family.
Thanks for the great night of talking!

Mount Rushmore

Us girls have to be beautified before we go






Photo taken by our very own Millikins



Guys trying to readjust Lulu. Too funny to watch.

I agree Lulu, Daddy is just silly.

At the bottom of the stairs back up to the viewing deck we promised Millikins, and the rest of us, that we would get ice cream if we all made it to the top. (We did! And it was YUMMY!)
Catching a looky look.

And, catching a few Zzzzs

This one was another car shot as we drove down the highway.
