Chucky Mouse

Ru has a new game and I am not sure if she learned it from someone or if she made it up. Ru, Daddy and Mommy just played this game together at Ru's suggestion. It is kind of like red light green light. The leader is the Huckah person and the others are the chucky mouses. The Huckah person calls out random words and then when they say "Huckah" the mouses move but then they stop with the next word until they say it again.

Ru took dance this year and here are a few pics

The Story of Jonah

Last day in Indiana

On Thursday August 6th we just spent a relaxing day since we were driving home the next day and wanted to leave at 4 am. Mr. John aka Holly's dad took Ru fishing. She had a blast and they caught 5 fish. She is going to miss Mr. John I am sure. The last picture is from our drive home. Ru had a fever and slept almost the whole 16 hours but still slept that night.

Holly took this reflection picture and I thought it was cool

Isn't she so cute

Shipshewana

On Wednesday August 5th we went to Shipshewana, Indiana. I wanted to see the Amish community there and it was like a 3 hour drive from Holly's parents. I have been wanting an Amish handmade quilt for my bed for a really long time. We had finally saved up the money. So while we were in Shipshewana we ordered a king size quilt, but there is a picture of the pattern below. I read a lot of fiction books about the Amish and so I am really fascinated by them. They also had a huge flea market there in Shipshewana were the Amish and non-Amish both shop. There was a little bakery where I bought some jam, cinnamon rolls, and this yummy stuff called Chocolate Cashew Crunch basically toffee with cashews but they call it "Amish Crack" because it was so addicting. We went to a bulk foods store too and I bought some yummy homemade pasta. It was super fun to see all the buggies everywhere we went.
