July 5th was Trinity's Independence Day dance! It was a fun night full of dancing. I apologize in advance for all the blurriness in these pictures (as well as the red eyes - these photos are unedited!)
Dancing the Pattycake Polka!
These two are supposedly dancing the Pattycake Polka...I'm not so sure, though.
The Virginia Reel! And yes, Mr. Schroeder is wearing an Iron Man mask...
The other group dancing the Virginia Reel...
Ange clapping to the beat.
The superb decorations! It was quite a festive event, with everything decked in red, white, and blue - even the lights!
The California Waltz.
Emma and Caleb admire the ice cream during the break.

The complete group at the dance.
A couple days after the dance, we had the Mesinars over to our house for the night before they took the long drive back to their house. While they were here we swam in our pool. One of the things we like to do in the pool is have Dad throw balls for us to dive and catch.
Faith jumps for the ball.
Corey dives (did he catch it?)
Chandler goes for the ball.
Chason takes a leap.
Hope attempts to grab the ball.
Lincoln takes a try.
I jump for the ball.
And finally, Madyson takes a go. We had a great time with the Mesinar family before they had to head out the next morning.
On to the next event! Last weekend my Mom's side of the family had it's yearly family reunion! We gathered for a couple days of fun and fellowship.

The whole gang (minus Kevin and Amy).
Amy's thinking, "Why did I ever agree to being in a picture with these two?"

Caleb giving me a hug.
The weekend was a nice relaxing one spent with family - a tried-and-true recipe for a great weekend!
The final event was one that happened just last night (July 19) - the second of three Walker Movie Nights!
Playing the "Keep the red cup in the air" game.
Notice the space between Sarah and Joel/Rachel/Roel/Jachel...wise move, Sarah!
Hmmm...this looks familiar! Different people this time, though. Justin jumps for the ball!
Hannah goes for it.
Kelsey attempts to snatch the ball.
Katelyn dives for the ball.

Jumping in all together!
Benjamin helping his little brother into the pool.
Those who didn't swim talked instead.
Volleyball was also played.
But, of course, there must be a movie for movie nights! Before we watched The Muppets, Caleb, Emma, and Gwyneth play with the projector light. And that is where the pictures end! It was a fun night of fellowship and activity!
That's all for now - until next time!
