4th July

American candy (lollys) that Paul and John got heaps of!

4th July parades

Looks like its time for me to update the blog again. Life has been pretty busy with trips so its hard to find time.

For 4th of July we went to a few parades in the morning with the Tricketts. The boys collected lots of Candy, then we went to the Tricketts and had a lovely meal. After that we watch a movie and had blueberry pie. All in all it was a lovely day!

Inside the ship, the beds were very narrow.

The Mayflower 2 ship, this is very similar to original Mayflower.

weather

The first day we got here the weather was lovely and warm. I am have just got back from a missions trip see blog, Hope Kiwi so it was lovely and warm for me since i had got used to the heat in Asia, but the rest of the family had just come from winter so for them it was sooo hot! Then all of a sudden it went so cold. We were putting lots more blankets on. Its funny how fast the weather can change here.

After 2 and half years...

After two and a half years we are back in the USA.

Its crazy to think that it has been that long.

We arrived in the CT, USA on the 7th of June. Mrs Trickett picked us up from the New York airport and we drove about 3 hours to the House we have rented for the Summer.

Christmas at the Tricketts

Christmas 2008 was one of the nicest Christmas's we have had. First we went to the Tricketts place for breakfast. They are such a wonderful family, they had given us each a stocking stuffed full of goodies! It really made our Christmas! Then we had Christmas breakfast of waffles and fruit and eggnog. The sun was shining and it was just a wonderful way to start Christmas day!

Thank you so much Mr and Mrs Trickett, Benjamin, Patience, William, John and Owen.

You guys are a really special family.
