Nothing better than celebrating the independence of my first home in my second home! Here's a glimpse of our 4th of July festivities on the other side of the world!
 |
| Hannah showing off her patriotism! |
 |
| Sara! |
 |
| Playing games while the burgers cooked |
 |
| Chips, burgers, watermelon, pop, and veggies with dip....oh so good! |
 |
| Even the sidewalk by the Inn was all decked out for the holiday! |
 |
| Playing "Uno"! |
 |
| Jerak |
 |
| There were about 40 of us total--visitors, interns, staff, and older SFCV kids--joining in the feast! |
 |
| Sara and her two new buddies...Caleb and Luke! |
 |
| Elizabeth |
 |
| Mama Jewel presiding over the food table |
 |
| Surrounded by food and people, Seth was in heaven! |
 |
| Sara, me, and Linda |
 |
| Melissa, Becca, and Hannah |
 |
| Pam Baker, Mama Jewel, Hayden, and Wendy |
 |
| Ling-Ling |
 |
| Hayden |
 |
| Me and my "Jie Jie" (big sister...she is just barely older than me!)...Stacey! |
 |
| Playing football after the meal |
 |
| They did "old guys" versus the kids...it was so fun to watch! |
 |
| The patio...so beautiful with the lights and flags |
 |
| Hayden and Stevie |
 |
| Becca and Hannah |
 |
| We girls opted out of the football game, preferring to sit and watch on the office steps! |
 |
| Jerak |
 |
| Philip and Grady. These two plus Elizabeth were racing in their wheelchairs around the office against Jerak and Joseph on bikes. I couldn't believe how quickly they could round the corners! |
 |
| Hayden |
 |
| Wendy |
 |
| Let the fireworks show begin! SFCV founder Tim Baker was a true pyrotechnic, delighting us all with explosives that were totally banned in America but available right across the street here! |
 |
| Grady, Hannah, and Joseph |
 |
| Watching the show! |
 |
| Philip dodging the "shrapnel" from the fireworks! (several people got hit with ash and stuff as it came down) |
 |
| Time for sparklers! |
Happy Independence Day, America!!
