Fourth of July Week

Fourth of July week is always a fun time at our house!  We did our town parade while we hung out at friends house.  They are on the parade route and it is a great spot!  Some traditions are just meant to be! 

Above is one of our cats, Joy.  She sat on Michael's car looking for something good to chase.  She is a great mouser which we are thankful.  She is a very sweet cat.

We decided to play some games on July 4th.  Joe begged for Axis and Allies.  These were the brave ones.  The others went and played Uno, Spoons and another card game.  Those of us brave enough to play Axis and Allie took an hour to set up the game.  The second hour involved us each taking one turn-it is an intense game with a thick play book.  We gave up after 2 hours and agreed, no thank you to another game.

Darrell and Jacob are twins at church-totally unplanned but fun anyway.  Had to get a shot.  This actually happens a lot.  We will say, " I see you got the memo!"

On Saturday, we went to pick up our friends from Texas who were attending Camp Maranatha.  We then headed over to the Bibeo's place for tea, snacks and some games.  We enjoyed the fellowship and the chatter of the kids practicing their Chinese with Ruby and Meiling.

A fun week and then we were off on our next adventure....another trip to Oma and Opa's to hang out with them while the Daneker's traveled.
