Poor Sam & Sarah (Samarah) are the last of the kids to live in the frozen north. Last Tuesday they finally decided that they had had enough of the cold and came to visit us for a week. They spent the week visiting the beach and have made a few trips to Sea World. While she was here Sarah asked Mom if she would put on a baby shower for her. Sarah is expecting a little boy in August.
Friday night we had a bonfire on the beach. I guess Sam has never done a bonfire on the beach.
The bonfire was great, I don’t know why but a hot dog cooked over an open fire always tastes so much better than a hot dog cooked on a stove.
The bonfire brought back all kinds of memories from when the kids were home. We used to have the kids save all their homework for the entire year and then as soon as school was over, we would have a bonfire at the beach and the kids would burn all their homework. They looked forward to it every year. It wasn’t long before all their friends joined in on the tradition.
The baby shower was held on Saturday at Desiree’s house. I was not invited but from all accounts it was great and had a big turnout.
After church on Sunday, we decided to go to Sea World with Samarah. Mom snapped this picture of me giving Sarah a hand rub in church. All the time, growing up Sarah and I would take turns giving each other hand rubs. It was fun then and it is still fun.
They leave on Tuesday. It has been good having them here this week. I probably won’t see them again until after their baby is born.
