July 4th

We had several other missionary families over on July 4th. When we woke up that morning, it was raining, and when we went to bed that night, it was still raining. It rained ALL DAY LONG. One thing about it, it was nice and cool. The bad thing was that all 25 of us were cooped up inside the whole time. We still had a great time! Towards the end the kids went out and ran around in the rain (they would have done it more, but there was quite a bit of lightening). It was sure nice to have American friends to celebrate the day with. :)

Today we took Juls out for her birthday meal. We have a tradition that on the kids birthday they get to go out with just me and Stu. Her birthday isn't until Wednesday, but she will be at camp that day, so we had to do it early. We went to Chili's. We had them come out and sing to her and she was embarrassed. We had fun though. They love getting their time alone with us.
