DAY 17 - Thursday July 17th

Got up around 6am. Had coffee and toast and went back to bed until 8:15. Got back up and started making the banana pancakes. I made them from scratch with no eggs or milk or dairy products so the Sillavans could eat with us too. Everyone got their fill and we had a couple left over.

Now I am headed to the golf course for a quick 9 holes with Matt. After that we are going to try and go to the
lake to join Alice and the girls. swimming and stuff  pic1,

Well so much for quick. It is almost 2pm and we have just finished our home made sushi lunch and we are getting ready to go to the lake. I made Alice some sushi too. Just can't get enough of it. It's like pizza in America, if you have it a couple days in a row you just skip a day and you are ready to have it again.

By the time we got to the lake, Alice and the girls had left and apparently some lady gave Alice a hard time about having too many kids in the water and not enough adults to watch. So I guess that's why I was in hot water for the rest of the day.

Church was thrown together around 4pm and we met in the auditorium as there were too many people to gather at the Sillavans. We announced that Maddie and Z (11yr nephew) were going to be baptized at the lake on Tue or Wed.

After church a lot of the little ones wanted to go swimming again, so they did. NONE OF THEM HAD SWIMMING COSTUMES. They all just went right in with their clothes on.

Alice's brother's wife made chicken chili and salad for dinner and it was very good. Mackenzie ended up sleeping over the Sillavans and the rest of us went home. I went to bed early and the rest watched a movie, nope not "Liar, Liar" again, this time it was "Space Jam". I wanted to get in an early round of golf tomorrow before we go to the Ninja park/ playground. Off to bed
