We did lots of cooking together - desserts and meals
A somewhat group picture of the girls :)
We looked at lots of their pictures while they were here!
We felt so much like family that they helped us with our laundry... :) And we played games while we folded. :D
On Sunday morning/afternoon, our church group met at the park and enjoyed our service there. Pictured here are (R-L) Leah, Sam, Rebekah and a little girl from our church
We even managed to get the piano to play in the park! It was wonderful.
And then we went down to the Spokane River to witness two baptisms - one of them was Hannah's.

Leah really got into the water... :)
Leah... drenched!
Some of us were able to ride in the B.'s vehicle with them on the way to the park
This was a secret project for our other friends that were going to come at the same time the B. Family was going to be here... the surprise was a peanut butter cheesecake... which will be pictured later.
When our other company, the M. family, arrived, we played several games of spoons... :)
Hannah with the youngest M. girl. ♥
Luci and Amanda, going down to the barn to milk the goats. ♥
We made breakfast together, and because there was no room at the table, we girls sat together in the family room.
A lot of the girls offered to do each others hair, so we had a fun morning trying out new hairstyles.
We set out after breakfast to go take a walk.

Goin' up the dirt roads
After a photo-shoot (maybe we'll be able to post pictures of that later), we came back and celebrated our dear friend, Luci's 16th birthday. What a delightful time we had!
The "surprise" completed!!!!
We had a nice "tea party", but instead of tea, we had fruit smoothies ;)
That evening, we had wonderful fellowship with our Bible study group and guests. The P. family kindly hosted a last minute dinner at their beautiful home.
Dani and MaryAnna
Before Bible study, we were able to walk around the property and take pictures.
Amanda and Luci
Special friends ♥
Dani and Olivia ♥
Dani and Luci :) ♥
The B. Family was able to spend over a week with us at our home... What wonderful fellowship we had with their family! We adopted the B. girls as extra sisters ~ and we took care of chores, animals, clean-up and just about everything together! What a special time we will never forget!!!
(Love you girls!! ♥)
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! ~Psalm 133:1
P.S. We will be doing a more extensive post on the visit with the M. family. :) We are excited to share the special details and more pictures.
