Later in the day on Saturday, there was a "Towne Square" where you could play different games and do activities that people from the Reformation time period might have done.

The Highland games started with the Caber toss.

We had a very good time! It was a lot of fun, and the sermons by Marcus Serven and Kevin Swanson were excellent! Also, on the way home Saturday, we spent the night at Uncle John and Aunt Darlene's house. We had a really nice visit with them on Sunday! :)

Birthday Party for Amber, Andrew, and Anthony

Since I have been so busy, I have not had a chance to post on the blog, so now I will try to catch up!
The week before our birthday, Mom had a party for Andrew, Anthony, and I. We had the Caswells, Rhoes, and Grandma and Grandpa Gillingham over for supper and games. It was a lot of fun! :)

We played several fun games of monster volleyball! :)









Happy Birthday!!!! :)
Anthony had just trusted Christ as his Savior a couple of weeks earlier, so we sang "Happy Born Again Birthday" to him as well!!
