4th of July

What a fun week of the 4th we had. Elizabeth and Justin Fain (David's sister and bro-in-law) came to visit us this week. They have been in Saipan for the last year teaching. They just got back in May and came to see Annika. We have been having a blast!! Annika has been one busy little girl! These photos are specifically from the 4th of July we will post other photos from our week with Justin and Elizabeth later.

On the 4th we went to the Manske's house for a cookout (our neighbors). We then went tubing down the Sunrise River (Annika got to stay back with Jolene, Dorthy, and her new little friend Elliott, he's 2 1/2 months younger than Annika). After we were finished tubing we went to the fireworks. We thought for sure Annika would cry because of the noise, so we are borrowed the Manske's noise reduction headphones for her. She did not end up wearing them. In fact the noise did not bother her at all! She sat on mom's lap and watched the fireworks. During the grand finale Elizabeth looked over and said that Annika was smiling! On the way home in the car Annika "konked out" it was a busy day for her.

Here is a slide show from the fireworks. At the end are a few candid shots of Annika I took to put in her baby book.
