Fourth of July weekend

Aunt Marta and uncle Misael have been here this weekend visiting. They arrived, by surprise on Saturday morning. Aunt Marta called mommy in the morning, about 6:30am, and said “The sun rises different in your neck of the woods” Mommy about jumped out of bed!! Aunt Marta and Uncle Misael were 3 hours away from the house when they called. It was a wonderful surprise. Saturday we hung around the house, to try to give Marta and Misael some time to relax after driving all night. We also had a visit from another friend and her family; who are in from Argentina. Sunday we went to the zoo! While it was really hot out, we had a lot of fun! We got to see the polar bear, the lion, the flamingos, the fish, the monkeys, elephants, giraffes, and the sea lions. And for the first time today you seemed to enjoy eating sweet potatoes. In the evening we went with Aunt Marta and Uncle Misael to Emily’s house for our small group potluck. We had a fun social and were asked to bring a dish, something red, white or blue. So, I made a tres leches cake and decorated it like the flag of the US.
