Weekend Fun!

Last weekend was a very busy one for us. Melody and I traveled to New Boston to visit with the Bluedorn family. We spent Friday at their home and then we girls went to the Quad Cities on Saturday for some shopping. We ended the day with dancing at Bishop Hill.

There was a live band that played a lot of fun folk songs and we enjoyed the all the lively dances.

On Sunday afternoon we were invited to some friends' house for supper. We finally arrived at their lovely home after getting quite lost on all the twisting, unlabeled country roads!

Most of us played a game of baseball before supper...

Linnea and Mr. C.
Swing, batter!

The moms sat and watched, and Melody gave the two youngest girls an art lesson. The three girls decided that they preferred drawing to baseball!

I guess it's been a long time since I've played this sport and this was evidenced by the fact that I was a quite sore the next day!

The weather was absolutely gorgeous!

When the game was done, everybody crowded around to watch the artists at work...

Liesa and Laura did a great job! Melody was quite impressed with how well they did at such a young age!

After a yummy taco supper we played a number of "mind" games, such as "The Magazine Game", "One Up, One Down", and "The Moon Club".

They were all great sports and caught on to the tricks a lot quicker than most people do!

Both of our families enjoy singing the different harmony parts on hymns, so they brought out their hymnbooks and we sang Faith is the Victory. The C. kids also treated us to vocal piece they recently learned!

We had quite a fun weekend spent with all these friends!
