Our summer started of the same way it has since I wAs a child with the Minnis bay scripture Union holiday club. This is. Beach mission run by a swarm of volunteers. My own mother sent me and my sisters as children just to get a bit of free time, little did she know it was just the start of a journey for me. I volunteered to help in the toddler venue which was fun and busy. There is also the massive water fight too where lots of children meet for a massive water fight. There must of been well over 1500 people it was crazy and overwhelming. Lots of fun too, well I say fun I hate getting wet so does son son.
I was then back to work and had my birthday which was a bit rubbish being at work, but thankfully my colleagues made it a good day and I got to see the kids after work. My friend Jess came in and embarrassed me with a cake and a flashing crown. Im never really a lover of my birthday no since having children.
We then had a little party to celebrate Ami's 3rd birthday and make sure she can see her friends and family as we were going away that day. She loved it although wasnt instructed in opening presents more playing and making a lot of mess typical Ami. When everyone had gone we finally got all the presents and opened them whilst Son Son had a nap so he would break any of it. We packed a weeks worth of stuff and headed down to Sidcup to be part of Lark in the Park.
We had a great few days at Sidcup the kids adored it. I volunteered in the toddlers again which I finally plucked up the courage to talk to some of the people who came along. We as a family love Lark in the Park, its a safe place where my children can run around and be free. We hardly saw Asti all week, we loved being able to ge this own food and play with his friends. His highlight was being in the teen tent he love it. Ami had her face painted most days which is a new expfeience for us as she rubbed it all over her face making me want to repaint her every few minutes. She really is growing up, I have loved seeing her sit down with all the other children and really enjoy being with the other children. Son Son is still all over the place but thankfully Ami is sensible at times.
It was Ami's actual birthday whilst we were away too, We woke her up in the morning saying its her birthday she said "No its not my birthday its Zacks" (her cousin). We had a normal day she got sung happy birthday a few times which she loved. In the evening we went out for Dinner with her cousin Zack as they share the same birthday. He is 11 years older and wanted to go to a rib shack place. As per usual Ami and Sonny ate nothing but Asti enjoyed it. The restaurant then put on this loud happy birthday and the whole restaurant clapped, was so worth it for that however red I got.
We had to leave Sidcup early for me to come back and go to work. It was very sad leaving early but the weather was good when we got back. I say that I was stuck in a hot hospital.
So thats the last two weeks briefly, I love the summer. I love Scripture Union and Lark in the Park. They make our families summers so special. Its such a blessing to get along these things no matter how tired it makes me for work. I tell you Friday I was exhausted needing countless energy drinks to get me through. Sorry if Im not posting much we are either at the beach or at work.
