First day of August

Today began with our family going to the 9AM church service at Cave Spring United Methodist Church followed by the kids teaching Sunday School to preschoolers.  This was Zack & Alli's first experience teaching and really their first experience with preschoolers.  Neither were pleased with the experience.  They felt they didn't really know how to relate to children of that age.  I am sure they did better than they think they did.  Our youth leaders decided to have the youth teach the younger children this summer to give the adult teachers a break.  Zack and Alli are signed up for one more Sunday.
After church and lunch, Bubba and Zack golfed 9 holes at Hidden Valley Country Club.  It only took them one hour!  There weren't many golfers out since it is a bit overcast.  After they got back, Zack, Bubba and I went to the Salem Greenway, about 2 miles from our home, and ran 5.25 miles together.

This was our first run together.  Bubba and I have been running for fitness for years.  Zack recently has gotten into running and is even joining the cross country team at his high school.  I am glad that Zack is running and I hope he enjoys it for life. We had an awesome run, the temperature was only 66 degrees which is unheard of in August in Roanoke!

After we got home, Alli took Joy for a walk around the neighborhood.

Later, Bubba is going to grill Tuna for dinner (as long as the rain doesn't come).  I am making a peach cobbler for dessert and we will enjoy a relaxing evening in.
