Today, for Grace's birthday, we went to the Deanna Rose Farmstead with Nana and Corey. It rained from the moment we got out of the car to the moment we got back in. That didn't stop us from having a whole lot of fun! Nana and I walked around with the umbrellas but the kids insisted on getting wet. They fed all of the animals, played on the equipment, and never stopped talking and giggling. After the farm, we went to Beach Bum for lunch. This place was cool! It had a big screen TV with cartoons, a beach and some music that made us feel like we were on a cruise again, and an arcade. Gracie won the most tickets, but all of the kids left with a whole bunch of goodies. Oh, and the "wet" theme continued, as Nana knocked over her water and soaked us all. Way to go, Nana!Grace and Ben spent the rest of the afternoon with their other grandma...Mama. They went to the Douglas County Fair, only to find that it wasn't open yet. They had McDonald's at the park instead. Just as cool.
Tonight, the kiddos attended Vacation Bible School again. It's only the second night but they are having a blast. Cousin Gavin is attending too. Here they are with their Lawrence Heights Christian Church "Calling All Heroes" shirts on and money bags in hand. Each night the church has a contest to see if the girls or the boys can raise the most money for Hands Across the Water. They are raising money to help children in Haiti go to school. Mama makes sure every night that the kids have a plastic bag full of change to donate. Last night the girls won, but tonight the boys took over. Final count is on Friday.
What a day! Happy Birthday to our baby girl.

Howdy Kansas, I'm at the library on internet & accessed your blog via the Sinclair's blog. Looks like everyone is having a great time in KS inspite of the heat, humidity, & rain. I enjoy seeing how all of you are doing especially Ben & Grace. We have a brief video of Baby Ben with his Dad at the beginning of Great Grandma Sinclair's 80th Birthday party video. I think Rob borrowed Rich's camera and was doing a practice tour of their first home in Lawrence when Brandon stopped by with Ben. So I think Ben is 7 years old now. It is good to see the children growing. I was impressed with the VBS's project to help the children in Haiti. Please tell Ben, Grace, & cousin Gavin I think it is cool they are doing that. Ya'll take care. Aunt Debbie
