Jacob does Summer Symphony
	Jacob spent the first week of summer vacation participating in the Icicle Creek Youth Symphony. The program is a day camp like setting which pairs students of all ages & ability levels with instructors from around Washington State. The week long camp culminated in an outdoor chamber music performance at The Wood Shed, a local music conservatory. The children then took to the stage at The Performing Arts Center and dazzled their parents and peers with their hard work. "I'm going again next year!" said Jacob. [photo]

They spent a portion of their mornings at the church sponsoring the camp, and then headed up to Icicle Creek Outfitters in Leavenworth. Jacob, Ellen & Seth all rode horses themselves the first day. Henry rode with an instructor the first day, and then graduated to his own horse the second day. Day 3 and 4 were spent at Eagle Outfitters, also in Leavenworth. "I want to ride a horse every day now," Henry was heard saying. The kids are already anticipating horse camp next year.

The wallpapering team is expected next week. Pictures to follow...
