Catching Up With Friends

After resting and freshening up at our hotel, we went for a swim in the hotel pool before heading up the road for an evening with our friends, Jonathon and Jeannette Tinkey and their kids. Jeannette made pizza for dinner. Very yummy!

Laural took to the older kids right away. She and Hannah sat on the couch and watched a video for a little while but mostly, Laural just wanted to show off. Micah was happy to bounce around the house.

After dinner, they had a cake and we sang Happy Birthday to Derrick who just turned 18! I remember when I first met the Tinkeys and Derrick was just a toddler!

Micah managed to sneak a handful of icing when nobody was looking. He looked pretty happy about it.

Clockwise from the  lower left: Micah, Leslie (Derrick's girlfriend - hope I got her name right), Hannah, Joseph, Derrick, Jeannette, Jonathon & Laural.

We had a great time catching up, laughing and watching video clips of a Christian comedian, Tim Hawkins. Very funny! If you've never seen him, you have to go to http://www.timhawkins.net/video.php and click on the Chick-fil-A video. It's funny because it's true.

Once we get home, I am going to dig out Steve's cassette tapes that he & Jonathon made when they were teenagers and convert them to digital so Jonathon's kids can get hear the things their dad did when he was their age. I'm sure they'll get a kick out of it!
