Sunday, April 30

Actually, this first picture is from Saturday night after supper when Hezekiah, Jesse, Diane, and Jared played Qwirkle.

I accidentally saved it in Sunday’s file. 🙂

We had Sunday lunch after church with those who were in the house – or arrived about lunch time. Clockwise: Jesse, Deb, Jared, Ian, Heze, Mark, Diane, Josiah, and Cerwin.

During the afternoon we had a great time playing a kind of progressive Scum. There were two tables of five. After each game determined a king and queen, the king and queen exchanged tables.

Cerwin must be Scum, because he is dealing cards. 🙂

Look who is dealing the cards now.

Look at Mark’s face.

At times we laughed until our bellies hurt.

Jared was telling us silly jokes.

Oh, dear, I’m dealing again.

After Jere and Kristen got back from Washington DC – where they went for the weekend to celebrate her birthday – we moved the tables so we could have six at each table.

Cerwin made hamburgers and hot dogs for those who were able to come to this birthday party.

I love the cakes at Lititz Family Cupboard “Cake & Cup”. I told them that Cerwin enjoyed hunting. They made a target on top and camouflage on the side.

His birthday was a week earlier, but we waited until Mark and Diane were here.

Heze and Grandpa share a love of bluegrass. Since Heze now lives near Nashville, he went to the Ryman to buy Cerwin a coffee cup.

As you can see, he received some other goodies.

Jere set off a firework before he and his family headed for home.

Anthony received this big truck from Uncle Hezekiah and used it to help grandma clear the tables.

A few of the guys decided to play Ticket to Ride (Rails & Sails).

Heze, Josiah, Mark and Nathaniel.

A game of Qwirkle was being played at the other end of the set of tables.

Cerwin, Abby, and Diane

It was an incredibly fun day.

I love having family under our roof.
