A church in a neighborhood where Daniel was working.
Our Homemakers club had a group picnic and hike at Yahoo Falls.
The rhododendrons were in full bloom and SO pretty!
One just budding out.
Rita and Sam
Hiking down the trail.
Our musician friend, Calvin Taylor, was visiting us, so we brought him along!
Interesting grave site.... where we learned today that no one is buried here.
We enjoyed a visit from our friends, John and Connie. We had fun taking them to see Cumberland Falls and even got to see the rainbow! (NOT the moonbow)
It was a double!
The view from below the falls--and the rainbow was still there too!
Got a neat shot of John and Connie with the falls and the rainbow, too!
One... two.... three....
The trail back from the falls
No, we didn't hike that trail!
Kristina walked a few miles with the homemakers club doing trash pick-up along Hwy 27.
It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun!
Daniel and his Dad hauling drywall sheets at their house.
Our cooking class this month was on garden vegetables--especially zucchini. This was our display for the Whitley City class.
Kristina getting the food ready for the oven.
Mmmm! Yummy! Vegetable Polenta Casserole. The steamed vegetables are in the bowl, and you can see the polenta slices in the bottom of the casserole dish.
Pouring the veggies on top. Add tomato sauce or pasta sauce on top, and heat in the oven. Serve immediately!

Sabbath afternoon we took another hike at Yahoo Falls. This time with Andrew, Daniel's Mom, Tauvaris, and Donna.
Kristina taking a picture of Daniel coming down the stairs.
Here's the picture she took.
It was so hot, we ended up walking under the falls to cool off, before continuing down the trail! Daniel did it first. Mom tried it second. Tauvaris third.
It felt so good!
Kristina thoroughly enjoying herself.
Mom trying it a third time!
Donna watching from the top of the stairs.
Kristina in it a second time.
Mom and Kristina, drenched, cooled off, and happy!
Tauvaris looking down at the falls.
Sunday afternoon, Daniel and Kristina headed to the river for a quiet afternoon together.
It was so quiet and peaceful out there!
Kristina enjoyed floating on an old leaky air mattress...
While Daniel towed her down the river with the canoe!
The view from where we had our picnic lunch.
So beautiful! The weather was perfect!
Headed back to the boat launch.
That big flat boulder up there is Buzzard Rock--where we love to hike to, and have posted so many pictures of the river below.
Now we are canoeing in that same river! You can see Buzzard rock in this picture, about halfway up the ridge. :) It was interesting looking at it from below, this time!
Our view as we drove away.
Kimberly came up for Kristina's birthday, and got up at 4:30am so she could decorate the dining room while everyone was still sleeping! This is what Kristina woke up to at 7am.
She really worked hard!!
After church, we came home for lunch and there was 8 of us, total! Kimberly, David and Kristina A, Mom, Andrew, and Tauvaris. Dad joined us by skype video--he was the 9th person!
Kristina had made her own birthday dinner.
A closer view of the sign Kimberly made.
Flowers that Daniel had brought home on Thursday night as an early birthday present for Kristina.
A Cherry-flavored Rose Bundt Cake that Kristina had made.
The darker layers were colored with beet powder and cherry juice. It was really pretty!
Asian menu--Kristina's favorite! Sushi rice, seaweed, and avocado and cucumber--everyone got to assemble their own sushi; the large dish is asian noodles and veggies. It was a feast!
Daniel put one candle on Kristina's cake--Kimberly told her it was because she only had one year left until she turns 30! lol
All that was left of the cake.... you can see the layers inside the cake.
Kimberly put together some fun activities for everyone. She had a special Bible treasure hunt, with Kristina's cards and gifts at the end.
Tauvaris relaxing.
Mom.
Kimberly explaining the second game--a music activity!
We all were given measures cut out from hymns, without the time signature OR key signature, and we had to figure out how the measures fit together and what song it was.
David and Kristina worked on one together.
Andrew had his own.
Mom had a really hard one!
Daniel had his own.
Everyone working on their separate puzzles. Some playing the piano, some whistling, some humming, and poor Kristina about went crazy! lol
Daniel was the only one who never once touched a piano and figured his out entirely by sight-reading and whistling each measure. He's amazing!
Kristina had a tough one... a song written in 4 sharps, and half of the measures were cut into separate pieces and some were missing the bass clef! Kim knew she had to give Kristina an extra-tough one!
There's part of Kristina's puzzle pieces.
Mom ended up going to help Andrew with his.
After everyone was done, the three girls put their heads together to try and piece Mom's puzzle into something musical. It was a song that none of them knew, so it was a real challenge and took some serious teamwork to figure it out!
Kristina's completed puzzle--Soldiers of Christ Arise, from the old hymnal and an unfamiliar key! lol
Daniel's completed puzzle. Come, Ye Thankful People, Come.
Kristina opening and reading cards. They were all SOOOOOO special!
Daniel and Kristina taking some time to rest and read on the couch.
Another picture of Kristina's birthday roses--a couple days later. Still pretty!
