Phew!
What a whirlwind these last few days have been! The last week Lucas has been gone in the evenings working on Volkslaufe set-up. The week of work culminated in the running of the 34th Volkslaufe on July 4th. www.volkslaufe.org
Along with Volkslaufe festivities we enjoyed a visit with Derek and Emily. Derek will be leaving this week for a 6 month tour in Afghanistan. It was an appropriate time to celebrate our nations Independence while enjoying time with one of our heroes. Our thoughts an prayers are with Derek and Emily during this time.
We had a lovely family BBQ on Thursday evening at Bill & Janette's. It was fun for Cassidy and Cailin to play with their cousins. Cassidy was a little wary of all those kids taking over her turf! The kids ran up and down the hill, took a hike to the pond, and played lots of frisbee and tag. It was good time.
Friday we went down to Heritage Park where all the Volkslaufe festivities were under way. We enjoyed a spaghetti dinner sponsored by the St. Lorenz youth. Cassidy and Cailin enjoyed the free kid's activities which included bounce houses, bounce slides, and bounce obstable courses. There was a lot of bouncing to be had! The girls and I left before the fireworks. Cailin was quite sleepy and Cassidy isn't a big fan of loud noises. Cassidy and I were able to watch some fireworks from our front window. She thought they were pretty neat!
Saturday morning we were up early and headed out to help at an aid station where we handed out water to all the 10k & 20k runners. Cassidy and Cailin were very helpful. Cailin filled up cups while getting increasingly wet and Cassidy helped hand out water. They were both great and did a wonderful job! After we finished at the aid station we headed down to Heritage Park for the 2k fun run for the kids. Lucas ran with Cassidy and I pushed Cailin in the stroller. Cassidy ran almost the entire way by herself. She loved everyone cheering for her! After the race we had some Chicken Dinner and headed home for naps. After naps we headed over to Bill & Janette's for the post-Volkslaufe BBQ. Great food, great people, good times! Cassidy and Cailin had fun playing with some other children. The sandbox was a hit! It was an enjoyable day!
Sunday we headed back down to Heritage Park for the Patriotic Praise service. What a great way to show our appreciation for our service men and women! It was inspirational! After the service we came home and had a little BBQ at our house. We swam and relaxed which was a fitting end to a great but busy weekend.
We hope that you all enjoyed a wonderful weekend and amidst all the of partying, fireworks, and festivities that you remembered what we are celebrating. Please remember to say Thank you to our service men and women. We especially thank our heroes: Robert Hanovich Sr., Robert Hanovich, Jr., Joseph Hanovich, Terry Hart, Derek Hart, Leland Hart, and Joshua Huffman.
