4th of July and a Visit to the Aquarium

We had a 4th of July party at our house on Wednesday. The whole team was able to come plus a few other friends and we had a great time. Our landlords helped us out by setting up a Thai style barbecue so we could grill. We had lots of American food that none of us had had in a very long time like grilled chicken, potato salad, sausages with peppers and onions, baked beans, and even apple pie!

Sharon and Claire put finishing touches on the apple pie. Delicious!

The red shirt girls (and Joe). Without planning it, almost all of us girls wore red shirts. :)

The girls got their own little table on the patio.

Multiple games of dominoes, set, take one, and settlers. Apparently Claire was the big winner of dominoes.

Yesterday Twila took us on a special outing to the aquarium. The girls loved the giant crabs, grape cotton candy, watching the penguins eating their fish lunch, seahorses, otters, and a car full of fish. Here's a couple of pictures of that too....

I've been meaning to take a picture for awhile of Ronald McDonald doing the wai. The girls are not worshipping him by the way. :)
