Brighton Park Days

Much like the celebration of Pioneer Days, we recently held a "Brighton Park Days!"  Okay, they had nothing to do with each other- but we did enjoy getting together with our wonderful neighbor's of the past 3-4 years (we've been here the longest for 5 years and have been recruiting people ever since.)  There are 11 LDS families that live in our complex - which is a lot.  We often get referred to as the Brighton Park Branch.  We love it.  However, 5-6 of those families will be moving on this year - and it's sad to see our time go.  As much as we are excited to see all our friends move on, get real jobs and start another exciting phase of life - we will always remember the time and growth spent here in Athens, especially in our little complex of Brighton Park.  To start the day off - Andie lost another tooth (Happy Halloween!)

 Mr. Caleb - such a happy little guy.  He loves being outside!

 Here are the girls doing laundry.  Our neighbor has cut out different shirts, shorts, pants from felt and the kids wash them and hand them on the line to dry.  Such a cute idea!

 After the adult egg race, it was time for the kids to race around.

 I don't really know what this game is called.  I *do know* it was hilarious to watch and play.  Put and orange in some panty hose, place said panty hose on your head and try to knock over the 4 cups circling around you.  It did make it easier when you made elephant sounds!  (hehehe)

 I won.

 All the girls were cheering us on.

 My two handsome boys

 What a goofy grin.

 Tallest to shortest....not oldest to youngest. 

 Andie and Ruthie's turn.

 Adalyn's turn.

Once again, a great time had by all.  Thank you Watne's for coordinating it all.  Thank you Kofoed's, Nixon's, Nelson's, Christensen's, Stinson's, Mildenhall's, Ingerson's, Rhinehart's, Sister Echard, Watne's and the missionaries for being such great neighbors!  We truly have been blessed!
