Our last few days in the States were filled with all kinds of good fun!
There was mud volleyball at Pine Bluffs Trail Days...
A trip to PBHS for some science equipment for Orkeeswa...
Fun times in Denver at the zoo and Water World with the Heinert's for Mary and Baxter's birthdays...
Some time on a lake in Georgia with friends...
A party with some of our favorite people...
A few days in Ohio visiting sister LauraBelle that included some good 'Amish-ing' as Laura calls it (or 'Amish encounters of the first kind' as Seth calls it), a visit to Smuckers (who has all the things we love to eat!), some nature adventures, a trips to Lehman's, visiting The Ohio State University, yummy pizza, a friendly church and of course a couple visits to the infamous Guerne Heights Drive In ice cream store that serves crunchy sprinkles!
After all that fun and 7 hours in the car, we got to spend a day in DC complete with tasty burgers at Tune Inn (check them out in September on Diners, Dives and Drive-ins!), lots of monuments and walking and a failed attempt at the metro.
All in all a great way to spend our last few days in the USA!
I was missing our DZ kids on Sunday, so I took a look through the notes they wrote for us during VBS. They are so sweet! Lots of the kids wrote notes of thanks for helping at church and encouragement for our trip. But, some of them are just plain funny. Here are some of my favorites:
Seth & Lisa, I know what you're going to do today! Good luck.
Sincerely, R.
P.S. You guys better have fun. Or else you wasted a bunch of time, which you won't be able to be at the end of VBS. I'll be driving to Colorado to get on a plane to California!
