Labor Day weekend

Evan, Carrie and Lina came to visit us for the weekend. Lina was so cute and slept very nicely in the drawer from my dresser.


It was a beautiful weekend!

Lina loved the lake:) Raquel actually got in up to her knees this night, which is quite a big accomplishment for her.

On Saturday, our org sponsored the Kodiak event where they flew in the new plane that is now being used to bring supplies and transport missionaries on the field. There was lots of stuff for kids to do too. Poor Raquel had a rough time because she really wanted to go on the bouncy lion, but every time she started to go in, she chickened out. Even in the car she talked about how she wanted to jump in the lion.:)

She was a little less fearful of the fire truck, and actually wanted to stay, but we decided to let some of the older kids have a chance.

Carrie, Lina and the shiny new Kodiak


We went to watch Dylan and Evan play soccer at the gym so of course Raquel had to wear her hat. It was about 85 degrees and humid, so you wouldn't want her catching a cold!


I made a skirt for Raquel last week and had some material left over, so on Saturday night Carrie made one for Lina to wear on Sunday.

Ok, you really need to be a better hostess to your niece - the drawer, and then tossing her out into the lake to fend for herself...? Sad. So glad you posted new pictures - it makes me happy to see what's going on for you guys there.
