Holly went to EFY this week up in Calgary, Canada. These are church camps they have all over the country. She is so adventurous, of course she chooses to go all by herself to the one in Canada! She was so cute, she texted me in every phase of her travels there so I wouldn't worry. She made it safely to the University of Calgary and her EFY group. She must be having a great time because I haven't heard from her since! She comes home on Saturday - and we can't wait to hear of her experiences.
But life goes on at home and I'm trying to keep kids busy and having fun during the summer.
Soooo.....

Today we did another fun project. We made summer stained glass votives. We sprayed blue stained glass paint on mason jars, from darker on top to little or none on the bottom.
With how hot it has been, they dried in about 20 minutes outside. Then Shera and Luke put little sea shells on the bottom, and Noel and I put sand in ours. Next we added stickers, a little metallic paint marker (Noel's and mine) and then put in the candle.
Luke had bright colored fish stickers on his.
Shera had sandcastle stickers on hers.
Noel did sea shell stickers.
I had butterflies on mine.
They all turned out really pretty. The kids picked out their own sheet of stickers and used their imagination to create them.
Now we get to enjoy them this summer at our dinner table every night. We can't wait for Holly to come home and see them!
