So many little people!!
So many little people!!
Ellie gave a brief speech during the program. She shared how she has made her parents and siblings her best friends, and how she loves working, playing and just being with her family."I could keep talking, but it's really hot out here." :)

Ellie and Lydia played a exciting duet.
It was delightful to listen to! 
-Giggles-The rest of the afternoon was spent visiting and playing sports. There was a huge number of volleyball players!!! At one point there was close to 60 people of all ages playing!! It took two nets and fast paced games of speed to include all those players!!
After the party was over, our family joined them overnight and spent the following day working on projects in the new addition.
Lydia and Tabitha made delicious lemon meringue pies!
-Working-
They had a blast, but they got a bit dirty!
-Visiting-
The younger ones made themselves a water slide to occupy themselves and cool them off.
-Fun-

How fun!!! I love all the pictures, Elizabeth! And how you captured the moments perfectly!
Would it be possible for us to get copies of all the pictures from our visit? I don't know if it's easier to put it onto a picasa web album or what, but as long as it isn't too hard I'd love copies of them all.
Miss you so much!!!
Love ya!

I know you guys had a great time. The homemade slip and slide brings back memories of Dad's planning and trying to figure out how to make a 40 foot slide.... :)
Hey Elizabeth, I've never met you but I did meet some of your younger siblings for Mrs. Kroker's birthday. I'm Michaela Creer. I just met Ellie a couple of weeks ago and was excited to see your post about her. We went to a Christian camp together.
