We had a busy Father's day weekend. My sister, Nora and her husband, Gary, came for a visit. Nora and I had an appointment on Saturday afternoon while the guys kicked back and ran errands. We started off Sunday morning with homemade
honeybun cake for breakfast. We enjoyed a nice home cooked dinner for the guys (grilled
ribeyes, fried potatoes, and a salad) before they headed back home. After they left, the 3 of us headed off to the NC Zoo in
Asheboro. Andrew and I gave Kevin a family membership for the year. We can go anytime we want as much as we want. We took in the African section. Next trip we'll go to the North American and
Sonoran Desert exhibits. Boy was it hot! It was 91 and we didn't have a dry piece of clothing on after 2 hours. I think that's all we
could've handled for the day. Most of the time was spent in the shade. Thank you Lord for that! We are truly blessed and Kevin is an AWESOME DAD!! Always knew he would be! As you can see in the pictures, we spent a little time in the garden picking herbs to send to Mama and Daddy with Nora and Gary. Andrew didn't quite know what to think of the bronze elephant we were sitting on. He cried the whole time. On the way home, we stopped at
Zeko's for pizza to take home to eat. They gave Andrew a piece of pizza dough to play with while we waited. Kevin finally made it to the zoo. He's been here since August 2001 and has been wanting to go since he arrived in NC. We finally made him happy! Happy Father's Day to our Dad's and all our friends who are Dad's!

Andrew mowing the mulch and pine straw around the garden while I cut fresh herbs for Mom and Dad. He's a great little helper!

Oh what a hot day! It was about 99 outside but very comfortable inside! The Welborn's (were in China with us and are from Burlington, NC) invited the Boughton's (also in China with us and from Virginia Beach, VA) who were passing through and the Friesen's (us, of course) to a cookout at their house. It was awesome to be able to see everyone and catch up. We hadn't seen each other since coming home on April 11. We last saw them in O'Hare airport late in the evening. Joshua has put on weight and is looking great. Lily is really adapting well and looked so sweet. She kept trying to take care of Andrew and help him with his sippy cup even though he doesn't need help. No more no-no's. The kids played dominoes and match games and had fun just running around. The Welborn's made us all feel very welcome and fed us quite well. It was so nice to talk and compare notes on everyone's progress. I even got to catch us with a college (BSN/MSN, old work colleague) friend that lives next door to Susan and Brian. I hadn't seen Susan in at least 5 years.
