Our friend Mr. A. arrived at our house on Sunday afternoon. We visited and did some food prep.
On Monday, we got up to the park around 10:30am, after spending the whole morning preparing food. We played around for a while (baseball, Frisbee) and then around 11:30 we played a kickball game (so fun!). Then we had our lunch, tons of food!
For the rest of the day played another couple games of kickball, two or three games of Ultimate Frisbee, and throwing the baseball around. After all of that being out in the sun, we were all scorched, to say the least. So we were up at the park until around 5:00pm, then those of us who were left (Mr. A., our cousins and us) went back to our house. We sat around, talked and relaxed in the cool house. Mr. A. left back for his home in OK. We had a dinner of left overs from the picnic, and visited until after 9:30pm.
It was totally a BLAST! Thanks to all of those who came and made it so enjoyable!

And Joel sprouted a pony-tail. :)
We all pitched in with the stripping of the corn.

Phoebe's sunburn after the big day was over (Editor's note -from Johanna: Mine was just as bad! I looked like a raccoon in the face because I had been wearing sunglasses).

Hi
Yesterday was so much fun!!! Thanks again for inviting us! I am sunburned too, but not too much, but Alex has a circle around his eye where there wasn't any sunscreen! :)
Hey Abby,
Yes, yesterday was so much fun! :) We're glad that you all could come and make the day even more fun. Hope y'all's sunburns heal quickly! ;)
Soli Deo Gloria,

Yes, thank you for inviting us! Despite the discomforts and inconveniences of being outside on a hot day, it wasn't too bad, and it was lots of fun! It was great to get to see you guys again. I hope we get to come again next year.

I'm glad y'all had fun, even with the hot weather and sunburns. We will definitely have to do it again next year (if not before).
