Summer Memories

Nana, Aubrey, and I went to see Sleeping Beauty, the ballet, put on by the performing arts center that Aubrey is signed up with. It was wonderful and a super fun girls' day out.
 Aubrey and Bryant, headed off to Bible camp. Bryant had an eventful first day. He was left behind TWICE by his counselors. One of those times he was in his cabin when a fire drill went off. Somehow they left without him. Not cool, camp director, not cool. Besides that they had a great week.
 And then there was this guy:
 Summer doesn't get any sweeter than making mud ponds and taking trucks for a swim.
I have been reminded constantly of God's gracious gift of refreshment. I am soaking the refreshment in with gratefulness and wonder; when the next storm comes I pray I am filled up to the brim so I do not forget God's tender mercy in the midst and on the other side.
