CELEBRATING JULY 4th 2011

Today we got up at 6, left the hotel at 7, arrived at the docks at 8 and caught the 9:00 ferry back to Paraguay. We drove almost straight to the Asuncion airport (we stopped for lunch and in Luque for one last shopping spree). The made great timing, praise God and arrived 2 hours before the girls’ 6:00 flight. It was sad to see them go. I know that our kids will greatly miss them as well.

At the guest house, we celebrated the 4th of July with the Dreiling, Stouts and the Floyds (who had just gotten back from a year of home assignment).





Every year it seems that Jeff is in charge of fireworks. Since we were traveling all day on the 4th he didn’t have time to buy them. So, we extended our celebration to the 5th.

Not only does my hubby buy fireworks, he buys fruit, veggies and eggs to blow up.




The dog dish was used as a launching pad. The dog dish can no longer be used as a dog dish.


Joshua was in the "splash zone" and got some apple on his nose.


It's gonna be loud!


Run away!
