Please God, not Africa!

Sweet Reunion!! It was so awesome to see all the boys!! Yay!!  Together again... Poor Jack is going to miss his buddy, Bullet. This is me, in Phase 1.  Michelle was getting all artistic with her photos! The missionary women at Cindy's place on Thursday night. I love these women!! Me and Michelle -- having survived the hike to the cliffs.  Hot, sweaty and very much ready for our PB and J lunch.

We stayed with Nate's cousins, Tim and Karla and had a great time together.  The weather was amazing so we went to the park and played around outside.  Below is Kylie and her cousin, Pyper, four...
