Boys of Summer






It is still hot and humid. It hasn't stopped us from having plenty of summer fun. The 118th Old Soldiers Reunion Parade was last week- the parade route goes along our street. It caps off a week of activities, concerts and fried food centered on the downtown square. We were excited to have our good friend Ajacia win the Little Miss Reunion Pageant, her mom Unitra is Ben's caretaker at the nursery at church.


We had friends over to grill out and watch the parade. The parade includes bands, reenactors, floats and every beauty queen in the county. The tanks lined up right in front of our house and we gave all the soldiers lemonade. Those moments just don't happen in Southern California!


Last weekend Leah went to Buffalo, NY for a weekend of wedding activities for her dear friend Lauren. It was Mark's first weekend solo (no church lady help!) with Ben. They survived boys weekend and welcomed Leah home with VERY open arms. Mark nearly skipped out the door to work on Monday morning.
