Kirra and Christian are always asking me if they can take pictures. Most of the time I tell them no...but recently I guess I've let my guard down. Here's some photography from my sweet children.

G.S. All Aboard Camporee
After the Summer Enrichment finale, we took off to Camp Darby for the Girl Scouts All Aboard Camporee. We spent Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday there, and had a great time. The drive wasn't half as bad as I thought it was going to be. We met some really awesome people. Had A LOT of fun, and really wanted to stay longer... here are our pictures...
Summer Enrichment
18 July was Kirra's last day of Summer Enrichment. They had a performance, award ceremony and dessert to celebrate their achievement.
She did a GREAT job singing BAM BAM BAM The Mariachi Band. Christian was so excited to watch, he sat in the very first row. 
Ms. Aeverman was Kirra's teacher.
She got to show off all of her hard work! 
I think her mask had the most feathers. Pretty Cool!
The sweet stuff may have been the best part for the kiddos.
Tie and Scarf Game @ our Branch FHE
On 14 July we had our Branch Family Home Evening at our house. We had a potluck dinner and then played a game that I learned at girls camp. This is the perfect game for a group of about 10... It's simple! You all stand in a cirle and start a tie at one end and the scarf at the other end. The person with the Tie has to put it around their neck, tie it TWICE, Clap TWICE, untie it and pass it clockwise to the person next to them. The person with the scarf puts it around their neck, ties it ONCE, Claps ONCE, unties it and passes it clockwise to the person next to them. The person the ends up with both of them is out... you'll see how exciting it really is when you play :) Here our some of our pictures....
Our Group
I think all Sgt Majors should wear pink scarfs... :) Kirra is READY!
You better HURRY Chad! Sister Openshaw is on a ROLL!
Sabrina loves Ariel when her little sis isn't trying so hard to beat her! 
Running away so you dont lose isn't part of the game Sean! :) Go JULIE!!
Tres Amigos
While I was at Girls Camp Kirra and Christian stayed with the Petersons. One of the first things they wanted to do when I got back was play with our neighbor AUSTIN. So we took them for a picnic in the park...
We Ate...
And Played...
But Most of all had fun climbing trees...

~4th of July~
This 4th of July was the best one we've had here in Italy. The pictures speak a million words...
The fireworks show was great as well, but didn't include pictures, because pictures of fireworks aren't too impressing...at least mine aren't.
Look Mom.... No Training Wheels.....
So there I was... mowing the lawn...
AND... Here comes Christian... "MOM--MOM--MOOOOOMMMMMM-- COME LOOK AT THIS!!!!! HURRY!!!!! So I stopped the lawn mower and found that Christian had almost mastered riding a bike without training wheels. Here's the proof....
Downtown Vicenza
It is unusual for us to go downtown Vicenza... but we found ourselves there twice in one week. On the 1st of July we had dinner with Chad's friend Brad. It was an awesome restraunt real close to the square. We had an awesome time. Two days later Nancy and I went to the downtown market. We had fun shopping, and maybe even more fun eating gelato. Poor Kirra was at Summer Enrichment, so we tried to make up by buying her ice cream from Baskin Robins... Oh poor Kirra!
