Kendra's 9th birthday and other stories!

We celebrated Kendra's 9th birthday on Friday. She took cupcakes to school for snack time. Supplied with cake mix and canned frosting from the US by our friend Claudia, I always reserve these products for birthday celebrations. And every year the kids come home with teachers asking for the recipe! She invited her friends over and we translated into Slovene an old youth group favorite game, Life size Clue. Josh, Blake, Becca and I were stationed throughout the house. The kids were in teams and ran around to find out who buried the treasure, with what tool and in what room. It was loads of fun with Kapitan Gatnik (Captain Underpants) using his nohte(fingernails) to bury a treasure in the klet (basement).
On Saturday we headed over to the church picnic and worship service. On the way home we stopped at the new house to lock up since workers had been there in the morning. And as we drove by we saw all kinds of tents and a crowd of folks. We stopped to see what was going on. Donkey racing! We laughed so hard! And evidently folks came from Austria and Italy to be a part!
Plus Luka got to meet Martin Krpan a Slovene story character. Love the outfit!

I absolutely love the picture of Kendra and Becca by the donkey (or is it a cow??). It's awesome!

Happy Birthday Kendra!
