I shared with David what my dad had shared with me on my 10th birthday. It was so much fun to pass that down! Here he is with some of his friends (he's the one in the middle).
As part of David's celebration, he had 8 other boys over for outside games. I enjoyed watching from the safety of the garage as the boys chased each other with high-powered water guns. The fight was merciless, and I was glad that my title of "Aunt" gave me immunity from being soaked. It was kind of funny. I could see that a few of the boys wanted to pelt me, but they held back.
The definite highlight for me was "the balloon drop." The boys took turns standing below a 2nd story window, while my brother-in-law dropped water balloons on them. The goal?: Catching four water balloons in a grocery bag. The game get's harder with each balloon that's caught because the balloons weigh the bag down and make it more difficult to open. So, balloons were landing everywhere, and were even hitting the boys.
Here is little Sophia with her very own water balloon.

Eeek! Oh, what am I saying?--- Humdullilah. Another year is another year survived. Are you planning to live to a hundred? My goal is more in the 80-90 range. :)
it was nice to meet the Lumsdaines! We are now a part of your blog!
That was quick---Yea! Welcome to my blog. It was great seeing you guys and catching up a bit. I hadn't thought about the fact that this was your first time to meet some of the Lumsdaine kids. Time flys.
Wow, that water balloon-dropping game sounds like a TON of fun! I'll have to keep that one in mind...
I've posted our pic of you running through the stop sign - it's one of my favs! Hope you're having a fabulous time at home!

It was great to see you this week, Elissa! God bless you!

Hi, Marie---What a nice surprise! I'll have to check out your blog too. :)
Thanks, Michele! It was great seeing you too, and I loved meeting little Sophie! She's such a cutie.
Hey Elissa, the photo of us is mixed in with my other photos from Morocco. If you go to my blog and look at the "links" on the right hand column, you'll find the photo album.
Luckily the story about my apartment's theft is the false one. I don't think I could've handled two thefts! ;)
Glad to hear that you've had so much fun traveling to visit family. I enjoy seeing your pics. :)

I found it, Marie! What great, fun, cute, culturally rich pictures you have! In fact, I downloaded some of them, including the one of us at the stop sign. Since you've only been robbed Once, I guess your glass is half full. :)
Haha, that's a great way to look at my robbing, thanks! :) Glad you found our picture - I love that one - I crack up every time! ;)
