Today our friends that now live in Paraguay, on their way to Chile, stopped over for a visit with their little boy Ethan. It was a great time seeing them again after so long apart. Carey blogs pictures and stories, so I still feel connected to them, but it was our first time meeting little Ethan and what a great little boy he is! They are so blessed with a beautiful, happy world traveler, and I so wish we still lived in the same town where our boys would grow up together. Unfortunately, while Thomas is learning to sail and wakeboard, Ethan will be traveling to exotic locales and speaking Spanish like a pro.
We participated in our 1st annual Lake Whatcom Boat Parade, after John and Bruce spent a great deal of time decorating the boat all up with red, white and blue flags and streamers. It was a lot of fun to be a part of the parade and Thomas and Matthew got a big kick out of the pirate-themed boats that were squawking back and forth with blow horns. Thomas was able to stay up well into the night as the fireworks began to go off, and we enjoyed a night-night boat ride out into the choppy waters of the lake for a great fireworks show all around us. By the time we arrived back at the dock, Thomas was ready for bed and we called it a night soon afterwards. We were all anticipating an early morning wake up call for my wisdom tooth surgery scheduled for o'dark in the morning.
"Mommy, s'that noise?" "Super, super, super crackery!" "Oohhhh, super, super loud." "Amazing!" "Grandma, play cars!" while all around flashes of lights and booms. He wasn't that interested.
