Wedding party

Wedding day of a daughter of a good friend. Not much of a party on the ladies end (men and women were separated and no pictures of the ladies allowed). The men had very energetic dancing. Jonas highlite: the cans of juice on the table. Jonas "mamma they were free, I drank four of them". He wanted to bring me and Anna Lena two cans, bill informed him we had some up stairs Jo"Alright then I'm going to drink these too".  Anna Lena's high light: using Gramma Bowers curling iron.

Back to the beach

Our official first swim at the beach visit of the season. The kids swam of course despite the water being cold (about the temp of the Jersey shore in July) then a quick dash to lay in the hot sand to warm up.

And a birthday parties we will go

And we have yet another long Holiday weekend. Eastern Orthadox Easter. But so thankful for a string of birthday parties. Friday evening Jonas' friend (little sister the same grade as Anna Lena), then Saturday afternoon our friend and worker Ruth (no balloons no pictures) then Zaky's class mate and his little sister, Anna Lena's class mate. The potential for bordem averted!
