Prince Charming and I at a marriage conference, located at the beautiful Camp Pinnacle
Ok now for more about June, which seemed to FLY by, probably because we were away more than at home!! To kick of the month Princess #1 and I took a trip to PA attend the Witness Festival together. A group of us (13 in total) ladies and girls went down to the free concert for the weekend. The weekend was so crazy it was actually funny... first we tried to get around NYC traffic by taking a "short cut" which was actually under construction and detoured which made our 4-5 hour trip more like a 7-8 hour trip!! We got up the next morning super duper early to get the best lawn seats... it was first come first serve seating. What we didn't think about was open field in the blazing sun for ummm, 12 hours?? Ok maybe not really that long but it sure did seem like it!!
Here is Princess #1 and I waiting for the first concert
Here are all her friends waiting for the long anticiapted Britt Nicole concert
One of the reasons why we moms choice this festival was because the girls all love the Christian artist Britt Nicole, and she was playing at this venue and did I mention it was for free!! We also got to here great bands like Reilly, Jamie Grace, Big Daddy Weave, City Harmonic, and Jeremy Camp!!
The long awaited Britt Nicole concert
The best part was that all the performers did signings right after the concert. Here is Britt Nicole signing Princess #1 tee-shirt for her. Princess #1 also made a picture for Britt that she was able to give to her.
So the rest of the weekend was filled with an overnight hospital stay (longer story), an overheated van, getting lost in Amish country and almost hitting a cow, missing seeing my hubby for a week by 5 minutes, forgetting carseats and having to drive 2 hours out of the way for them. But really, would I do it again... in a heartbeat! The Lord was amazing through it all and his blessing way out numbered the pitfalls.
I spent the rest of June going on fieldtrips and final days of school for the girls
Princess #1's 3rd grade class on a field trip
And celebrating Father's Day at the lake fishing (with no luck)...
One of the special treats we had during the month was some residents bluebirds right outside our living room window in our bird box. We have named them Bonny and Billy...
Their family has seemed to outgrow our small little birdhouse and they have moved onto bigger and better things. It was a thrill to watch them grow up though!
