August Happenings

 Our girls love putting on shows!  This summer they've started to actually put together scripts and choreography together into a cohesive "show".  It's great to see them putting their creativity to work! These particular photos happen to be a rendition of Katy Perry's "Roar".  (And isn't that the cutest little Claire-Bear you've ever seen?)

 This past week daddy had a golf outing in Canada so the girls spent the day with Niece.  They had so much fun and Claire-Bear literally crashed on the way home!

Our Silly Lily Cat!

Grammie and Pa went on vacation this past weekend to see the races at  Watkin's Glen.  Since they usually take Great Grandpa for a walk on Sundays, our family decided to take him for his outing on Friday evening.  I knew if I tried on my own he wouldn't agree but that it'd be hard for him to say no to Randy!  It was a breezy but warm night but the girls were able to see the outside setting of the nursing home and for Claire, practice an exercise in taking care of our family even if it's sometimes "boring".

 All of us continue to appreciate being able to swim in Lorri's pool next door, but especially the girls!  We bought them some goggles to try out which they are loving!  As a special treat this weekend they were able to splash around with Aaron and Cheyenne, who were staying at Lorri's.

It's been a quiet summer at Brasher Falls UMC and our girls have been the only children at services for the most part.  They are enjoying partaking in the services though by getting worship started with the lighting of the candles.

Other weekly news: Saturday we visited the SUNY Potsdam Creative Arts Camp to see a few of the camper showcases.  Then after a little shopping we headed over to 'Swing Time mini golf' and met up with some cousins who were in town for a family reunion.  Sunday we stopped by the Matthews Reunion and visited with cousins.  Stella and I left a bit early to head over to Krista's baby shower.  It was a busy but fun weekend!

Up next - our family vacation in Canaan Valley.  All of the Goolden Girls will be together for a few days and we are all so excited!
