dancing in the rain

We had our fourth party at the beach (not literally). We had 20 people attend and 9 of those were our readers. We gave everyone a hawaiian lia as they entered the door. We played hot potato with a beach ball. And Sean created a new game called "Doyle Ball" which was his form of volleyball seated. You had to eliminate the other team in order to win! There were extra rules made up as the game went along, but it made for great fun. We played limbo and Andy (Eric and Erika's son) won!! He enjoyed the sweet tarts he received as his prize. While everyone was enjoying fruit for a snack, we taught them a few words in "southern english". We would write the word on the board and they would have to use it in a sentence. If one team was unsuccessful , then the other team got a chance. So for you English majors we basically taught them what not to do in grammar class! :) The party was lots of fun and we are looking forward to the next one, when we take them to the Olympics.
The picture is of Ally (Chris Kelley's wife, one of the missionaries) and myself. She is such a wonderful person. We have only gotten spend a little time together but the time we have spent has been great. She is pregnant and about ready to pop!! We are expecting Jonathan Bruce at any time!
