SILOAM SATURDAY

We arrived in Siloam late Friday night.  True's party was slated for Saturday afternoon, so we spent a lot of Saturday helping with party prep and just hanging out with family.  Oh it was fun.
The girls enjoyed a walk with Nana and Papa.

Then, they enjoyed emptying all of Ellen's food storage containers with their cousins.  (True was chasing a rolling bowl and is not pictured.)

Everyone helped blow up balloons and play with them.

Then it was time for the actual party, which was so much fun.  They enjoyed the treats.

Bella did some crying and running to Papa's arms.  He was very willing to cooperate.

After the party, we headed to JBU for the guys to play a little frisbee golf, and the girls to walk a path that leads around campus.  The weather was gorgeous, and everyone enjoyed their activities.

Here's my bro getting ready to load sweet Max up into the car.  They are precious and cause my heart to burst with love and also pride at how great my brother is at being a dad.

My heart also experiences love bursting when I look at these three.  They were racing to a car.  Watching Bella run is truly a privilege.  She was so intent and precious.

It was a great Saturday in Siloam, and I am thankful for the relaxing time with family.  Sunday on the Buffalo was a little less relaxing, but you live and you learn.  It was a great weekend.
