Picnic in the park

On Sunday evening we attended the Bremer County GOP fundraiser picnic at Prestien Park in Denver. It was a beautiful evening, though a bit breezy. Austin spoke along with all the other GOP candidates running for various offices from county supervisor to U.S. Senate. He did a great job! We were also privileged to have the Johnson Family Strings as the entertainment for the evening. The Johnson's are a neat home school family from rural Denver that play together as a whole family all over the area. There are six kids ages 6-17 and they are amazing! There is a short video of Emily "dancing" in the video player. I tried to tape Austin's speech, but Emily was not cooperating at all, so I finally gave up. She performed her duty of looking cute, but only ate crackers and cookies for supper. We also decided it was time to go home when she wiped out on the tennis court, spilled her "fishy" crackers and skinned both knees. :o( Luckily she was quite resilient (and tired) and almost fell asleep on the stroller ride back.

Your house elf must be talking with our house elf. We lost all the pacifiers and spoons for Mieke. Within a day they reappeared. I LOVE the chase scene with Cheney. That is priceless. I laughed out loud!
