This past week, the 15th exactly, was my sister Elita's 11th birthday. To celebrate, we took her and a couple of friends to Splash Down Water-park! Lately since we've been having allot of rain we were afraid of getting rained out, but the gloomy weather held off and we were able to enjoy a day of water and sun. By the end of the day, we were all quite tired and waterlogged but the day was definitely worth it.

The next day we were invited over to the Bandy household to help them out with their roof and for some great fellowship. The guys were able to work the entire time while us girls made sure their cooler of Gatorade was always filled. Of course, we were also able to take some pictures so you'll see those too. :)

Also, some may have noticed that my blog keeps changing backgrounds, half of the side bar stuff is missing, or there is no sidebar at all. Well, its because this blog has decided to have a mind of its own. But no worries, I'm doing everything I can to get it back to normal. So thanks for being patient! One more thing, our family will be heading out this Monday morning to attend the RPCUS conference which is held in Bluefield, VA. We would greatly appreciate your prayers as we travel and as we learn more about God's Word.

Allrighty, I think I'm done! Thanks for taking the time to read, I'll let you get to the pictures. :)

They call it "Splash Down" for a reason. :)

Susanna T. was able to join us for our day out so here she is going down the slide with Hannah. Looks fun, huh?

Go Elita!!

You can probably imagine how it is standing under this wave of water, its pretty cool.

Mr. Bandy doing a great job!

Lenna tried to prove she could pick up a package of shingles, and she did! For about 8 seconds. ;)

The guys working hard on the roof!

Ruth and Hannah. :)

Lots of shingles!

Shades are a must on a hot, sunny day!

Go, guys. Go!!

And, dump!

Lots, and lots o' nails!

Hey, Dad. :)
