Pirates and VBS

A bit of what we've been up to the last couple of days...

Arrrgh!

Sunday was a hot one, and we had no plans. And we pretty much stayed in on Saturday. All this meant it was time to head to the beach. Ventura Harbor was hosting "Pirate Days," which meant lots of weirdos get a good excuse to dress up.

 Violet wasn't sure what to think about the costumed lady with the python.

Stace's "pirate name" was Blue Calico Bruce. After the harbor, Stace and Uncle Bill took the girls to the beach, where Cora had a few good turns on the boogie board (or cookie board, if you're Violet).

On Monday, Violet went to her first day of Wee Folks Camp, with Ms. Diane. She'll do one four-week session, on Mondays and Wednesdays. The day goes from 9 to 12:30, which is longer than she's been away from me before, but she did just great!
 This week the girls also have Vacation Bible School! Cora went on her own Monday, but Violet will attend the rest of the week. (Free time for me! Strange!) Tuesday was Crazy Hair Day, and it was Violet's idea to put the clothespins on her crazy pony tails. Cora refuses to participate in any themed days, not even pajama day or backwards shirt day.

 Here's Cora's group having their turn to lead the songs. Cora also did very well with reciting a Bible verse in front of the whole group, which filled the sanctuary.
