July 4th

This year, we spent the fourth of July with some of our oldest friends, the Boesch's (Scott & Emily and their four boys: Alex, Henry, Jack & Sam) and some new friends, the Rajlich's (Paul & Cindy and their five kids: Jacob, Joey, Hannah, Hope, and Henry). Of course, we just have one child but if you'll count....that makes ten kids in all, Jacob (9 - 3rd grade) being the oldest. =) We had a blast!

Paul & Cindy were wonderful hosts on their acreage outside town. They had plenty of space for all the kids to roam and Paul had mowed a maize for the kids (adults tried it too!). Paul even assisted the boys with a round of target practice on the pellet gun! Does it get any better than that?

We ended the day watching fireworks in a town close-by. Kabe was so excited about some glow-bracelets we had purchased for him, I think we could have skipped the fireworks entirely!
