A Month in Pictures

The last month has been very busy and the summer is going by extremely quickly. Here at Southern, they offer what are called J-terms. A J-term is a semester long class crammed into a week. You do all of the work before the class begins and then you are in class from 8-5 during the week the class is offered. It is a very intense learning environment and provides a different academic perspective because you study one topic for an entire week. Last week I had Christian Philosophy and the week before that I had New Testament I. Both were very good classes. June was spent doing school work full time in order to prepare for the classes. Consequently, I didn't put any pictures on the blog. So, here are a smattering of pictures over the last month!

One day, we went to central Kentucky and visited Fort Harrod. This was the first settlement in Kentucky and it was established in 1774. The fort has been rebuilt and it is outfitted as it would have been back then. They also have several volunteers throughout the fort doing work that would have been done in the 1700's. We had a lot of fun there and the girls really enjoyed it!

This would have been the school room for the children in the fort and the outlying areas. Notice the giant fireplace!

This is the dining room.

The outdoor kitchen area where they would cook food for those in the fort.

This graveyard lies just outside the fort and it is the oldest one in Kentucky.

One Saturday morning we went and picked berries and peaches at Huber's Farm.

An evening walk out at Cherokee Park.

The girls have been doing great learning to swim thanks to Aimee. Kate now jumps off the diving board and swims all over the pool without a life vest!

Last Monday we went to the sprinkler park located in the Zoo. The girls had a blast!





One day, we went up to Indianapolis to spend time with my uncle. He took us to a very nice sprinkler park and the girls had a great time! It was a fun day.

Well, that is all for now! Currently, we have VBS going on at our church so we are going over there every night. The days have been relaxing though. We are also getting ready to drive to Montana. We leave Sunday after church and will return on July 28th. Please pray for safety as we drive! We are very much looking forward to the break from the city and some time in the mountains and with my family!

Blessings,
