Family Fun

On Sunday, I had a great day full of family fun. In the afternoon my family gathered at my brother's house for lunch. Derek prepared an awesome burrito/taco bar. It was delicious!



Prior to lunch, my niece treated us to a violin performance.





And then began the longest game of Aggravation ever. My family loves to play games and we are vicious! There is no mercy and nothing is personal. We don't care if you have never played the game before or are four years old. We play to win! This game was particularly painful and there were many brutal moves, but it was hilarious and we laughed a lot!



I went straight from my brother's house down to San Diego where I babysat my cousins, Mary and Matt. We had a blast. First we went to the park, then to Subway, then to the store for root beer float supplies and then home to get them ready for bed. Am I the coolest babysitter or what? Yes. Seriously, I really loved spending time with my family. I literally would lay in my bed in Sudan when I was feeling homesick and daydream about days like this.
