Land of the Free Home of the Brave

A few weeks ago two of our good friends, Mana & Rachel, became United State citizens. Mana is from New Zealand and Rachel is from Canada.

In celebration we had both of their family's over for a little "Welcome" party. We ate your all American hamburgers loaded with ALL the fixens including: Fried eggs, hot dogs and bacon! The kids had hot dogs. And for dessert, that's right hot apple pie with vanilla ice cream! Yummy! Thank you Mike!

We always have a great time when we get together so any excuse we can get we do.

CONGRATULATIONS Mana & Rachel!
and welcome to America!

Look at those HUGE hamburgers! Go ahead, take a closer look

Our neighbour had these power machines out by his front curb to be taken with the trash because they don't run any more but Tom thought he could fix that so he went and asked if we could have them. Yeah, we are those kind of neighbours!(not usually) So embarrassing but the kids love them!
