4th of July

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!

We had a fabulous, although, quiet time celebrating the independence of our wonderful nation while living in the UK.  Luckily for us, Dave, Becky and kids were still visiting.  We also invited our friends, The Snow Family, who we met after moving to the Newbury Ward in May.  They have been living in Newbury for a couple of months for work.  We have had such a great time playing with them and getting to know their family better.  The church is such a wonderful way to meet new and interesting friends wherever you travel throughout the world.  We also want to give a huge shout-out to Heather and Aren for outfitting us in our USA gear!!

Watermelon Eating Contest..........

........ and the winner is Annika. Our sweet little princess won this crazy contest. She beat two 6th grade boys who have held the record as the winners for the past couple of years. They were mortified that a six year old GIRL could beat them. That's our girl!!
