On Saturday, we all went to Elvis Presley Lake for a fun afternoon. Mark took people out in the boat a few at a time to fish, and some fished from a nearby dock. The rest of the kids played in the sand and had a grand time. Once again, Mikaela caught the most fish, and was dubbed forever after "Bass Girl."
Aislinn had a big afternoon, not only did she find a tiny baby turtle, but she nearly drowned... mom and dad are eternally grateful to Jordan for his quick sprint to rescue her. The lake bottom drops off steeply not far from shore and she took one step too many. She shook it off though and wasn't even upset, it took Tammy and I a little longer to recover.
After spending too much time trying to get a good picture of all 11 of us, it was our pleasure on Sunday morning to attend Lawndale Pres and meet so many people that have made the Kuipers feel welcome. Its clear they are truly valued and loved and that was quite a joy to see. We even went to "night church" as Jordan calls it and thoroughly enjoyed it all. We spent the afternoon drinking lime tea and visiting with some friends from church that also have four girls, including a set of twins as their youngest. The adults thought the second story might collapse with the sound of 9 little girls playing up there, they were having such a great time.
We are sorry to leave the Kuipers, but we had such a great visit and are grateful for their hospitality. It was great to see them all settled in and enjoying their new home and this new season of their lives!
