This summer has been one of my very favorite summers ever. We have been able to do so many exciting things. We traveled quite a bit, but on the days we were home, we tried to be very intentional with our time. Early in the summer season, I created a hashtag for all of my summertime pictures on Instagram, hence #odellsummerfun2014.
Early in the summer, we had a wonderful visit with some very special people, Dr. Bill and Miss Teresa. They have been the sweetest encouragement to us and we just love them so.
We did some Vacation Bible School hopping with some of our school friends. The week before our travels to DC, we went to Bible School at the church where the girls attended and Story attends preschool. They had so much fun!
Summer was invited to her very first spend the night party! Such a big deal, and she had so much fun!
We spent several days at the playground and zoo beside our house.
It was such a hot day!
Before hitting up the splash pad, we visited the animals and took our picture on the ants.
And then our favorite, the splash pad. Such joy on their faces!
Ice cream sandwiches are a tradition when we go to the splash pad.
I love that they pose for me ;)
I took them all by myself to the movies, eeek! We went to see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. During the summer, you can watch a movie, get popcorn and a coke for $3.50!
We have checked out books from the library at church and enjoyed reading The Boxcar Children together.
We ate ice cream for lunch at Bop's one day because anything goes in the summertime, right?
David and I got to have a date day thanks to Mr. Landon and Miss Katie. We got in a workout on the trace before going to supper.
Meanwhile, the children went swimming with Mr. Landon and Miss Katie.
We took a day trip to New Orleans and enjoyed lunch at Camellia Grille and Sno Balls with our friends, the Baileys.
We went swimming at the home of sweet friends.
We celebrated July 4th with our church family. Love my little firecrackers!
We enjoyed another day at the park with sweet friends.
This has definitely been one of my favorite summer seasons ever!
