Scavenger Hunt Sunday
The scavenger hunt items for this week were
Relaxing
How about a beautiful, relaxing sunset?
Grace (7) is relaxing while watching a video with her "new" horse, with our puppy Bono feeling a little left out and wondering, "Who's this guy?" (Correction: Grace says it should read "Who's this girl?" because the horse's name is Lady Rose.)
Inspiring person
Well, for me, that would be Jesus Christ. He is "God come looking for us" and is our example.
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death--even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:5-11 NIV, emphasis added)
Written words
How about the written word of God?
This is an idea I've used in our church nursery/preschool ministry...Bible verses on wristbands. More often than not, the verse at least makes it out the door with the child. :)
The photo features one of my favorite verses:
Memories
Memories come from the everyday things, like exploring at the edge of a parking lot...
as well as the special things, like camp. (Click on the link to see photos from Josiah's camp experience last year.)
Best friend
Josiah's best friend came to camp with him this year. These two will talk and talk and talk and talk...
Here's a better photo of the two of them that I took in April 2013:

Changing Like the Weather
This is a panoramic shot of the sky from our backyard this afternoon, right before it started raining (again) after being a lovely-looking (but hot and sticky) day.

Sunset
All of these photos were taken last evening during a dramatic sunset...
And it got more dramatic...
the closer we got to home.
All photos are SOOC.
Scavenger Hunt Sunday
This week's scavenger hunt items were
All of these photos were taken at Cindy and Kerry's home during our 4th of July celebration (held on Saturday, because of all the rain we've had).
...And a little more blue.
Well...sparklers. :)
Grace (7) decided that "4th of July" didn't sound like a real holiday. She asked me if there was another name for it, and once I told her what that other name was, she insisted on calling it "Independence Day." On Independence Day, Grace served me breakfast in bed...my first breakfast in bed!
