Saddle Ridge Ranch VBS 2010
McCanless and Mary Clare attended Vacation Bible School at First Baptist this year. I have such fond memories of VBS at First Baptist, too, and I’m thrilled that they were able to attend. The annual photo was taken in the exact same spot that it has always been taken, on the steps of the old chapel. (I’d love to find one of my old ones and compare. Mel is probably in them, too!) We have such strong ties to First Baptist Church. I was dedicated as an infant, baptized, grew up and was married in this church. We have now been members at St. Bartholomew’s for our entire married life and have fallen in love with our church and our church family, but will always have a special place in our hearts for First Baptist. The girls had a great time, as I knew they would!
Saddle Ridge Ranch was the them and we dressed the part, of course!
Mary Clare was not thrilled to be on stage, so big sister came to the rescue.
Trying to get a photo of three Pennington cousins is almost impossible. This was as good as I got!
Mary Clare and Reese, aka the twins. (All week long the helpers assumed that MC and Reese were twins. They clung to each other and played/fought/loved each other like siblings.

ok, you have to understand before i say this, that i am a city girl from central canada, and when i’m not barefoot or in flip flops (from may to september), i’m either in sneakers or cool, high-heeled boots. i am in NO WAY a country girl, teenage obsession with rodeos aside (and that was merely b/c of the cute cowboys. i was 16, don’t judge me!!!! LOL) so here goes:
i LOVE those pink boots!!!!!
blithe has a white pair that she wears every. single. day. rain, sun, snow, heat & humidity, doesn’t matter. with jeans, with shorts, with skirts, with dresses. to school, to church, to the park. she’d wear them to bed if i let her. which i don’t, btw. LOL
remember my comment about not wanting anything pink for my girl, and she ended up obsessed with pink? yeah. apparently, same goes for footwear. LOL (for the record, blithe’s boots were a gift from a friend of mine. i did not buy them. i bought her cute sneakers and really pretty dress shoes, and pink sandals for summer. she rarely wears any of them. figures. LOL)
