Feasting

 We had an easy morning, Mark took a long walk and almost didn't come home in time to get ready for church. We pulled out at 9:20 am, just 5 minutes later than usual and ended up following Joan's van out of the drive. At church I asked Joan why she had left late and she had quite a story. She woke the kids up, told them to get ready then went to mom's to help get her ready. Once mom was in the car Joan drove over to pick up her 3 and Berlica was not dressed for church. She didn't know it was Sunday! Of course when one needs to get ready quickly one can. Tim Roecker had the morning message and Craig Stickling had the afternoon.  We were in no hurry to leave and ended up visiting quite long so didn't get home until 2:00 pm.  Phil and Anna were up at the barn and the girls were here so they were put to work setting the table for our dinner.  Nolan had smoked the brisket for 24 hours and when he brought it we were all impressed with this huge slab of delicious meat.

It turned out perfect.

The meal was finished out with green beans, rolls, salad and chips.

Tonight we FEASTED! 

After dinner some of the adults and Braelyn went to play volley ball. The younger grandchildren stayed inside to paint and color while the older grandchildren played outside and in the barns.

They all came inside cold and ready for hot chocolate.

After warming up came the triples.

After Joan picked up Berlica those triples turned to doubles.

Below is a video of the evening fun.
