4th of July

On 4th of July this year, we went down to a children's bike parade on the beach. 400 kids were there with their bikes jazzed up for the 4th! We went because an organization there had made it possible to get bikes donated for inner city kids who don't have bikes. 12 of our kids from Citylights were able to receive these. I wish you could have seen the joy on their faces. They got to ride in the parade along the beach and then take the bikes home with them. It was an exciting experience! While Luke wasn't old enough to ride in the parade, he was excited just to be there... and his day was made when the firefighters let him sit in the fire truck! AND we got to experience the glow on these kids faces as they rode their new bikes for the first time!

Best Friend Sleepover

Well, it's now Summer Break and I'm home for 2 wonderful months! Last week we watched Luke's best friend Lizzie for a few days while her parents went away to celebrate their 10th anniversary. They had a wonderful time playing together and cried on the 3rd day when she had to go back home!

Here are some fun shots of their summertime fun together:
