So I know it's been a while since I last posted but really, nothing terribly exciting has happened till yesterday.

Yesterday was Mom's birthday! So Happy birthday Mom!

Also yesterday, Mom and jc picked up jc's friend who is visiting for a few days (she lives in Texas).

Monday jc is leaving for camp.

Other then that and besides school, nothing exciting has happened for a while. It seems like everything has slowed down for the summer. Even our youth program is taking a break!

Well, I need to get off now, so, good day!

I was going to post some statistics like jc did but it took to much time, concentration and effort to look all of it up so I abandoned the idea.

I have had a very long week, even though not much has happened. Tuesday I had some friends spend the night and it was a lot of fun. We swam on Tuesday and we watched 3 movies. It was nice to have them over.

Wednesday evening wasn't so great. The kids at youth were in general just a bit mean and rough and it wasn't much fun. Tonight we have youth and I'm hoping it will turn out better.

It rained this morning. Even though it isn't raining everyday anymore the water still doesn't have anywhere to soak in so it just forms puddles in the grass.

Last night while mom and dad were out to dinner with some friends we watched Alfred Hitchcock's re-make of his movie (yes he re-made his own movie) The Man Who Knew To Much. It was really good and much easier to understand then the original movie.

Well, since I can't think of anything else to say I will close this post by saying thanks to all who still read my blog. I really appreciate it.

Indian Tacos

I think I will start out by saying Happy 4th of July, even though it is a little late. Yesterday we went to a parade. We had to get up early to get a good spot to watch but it was worth it. I enjoyed the parade but I would've enjoyed it more if half of it wasn't advertisement. They weren't even very good floats sometimes. There were some, however that I really enjoyed, such as the boy scouts at the beginning of the parade:



And the firetrucks:


And the Star Wars people:

And the lovely horse-drawn carriages:

All in all it was a good parade!

At about 4:00 (after a nice swim) jc, my brother and I all worked an Indian taco stand at a 4th of July festival. Why would we do that you ask? To earn money to go on a choir tour at the end of the year.

It was SO hot inside because the taco shell was what they called "Indian fry bread" and you cook it the same way you cook a funnel cake. Then, the beans were on a big stove so they would stay hot and the heat emitted by the grease and the stove was enormous. However, the tacos were really good!
