It's only a couple of weeks between Beth and Lil's birthdays, but it seems much closer than that. Here we are planning a surprise party for Lilly for this coming weekend. Watch next week for the recap on that. Since it's a surprise, I won't say anymore now.
Race Unity Picnic
After planning for months, we finally held a successful (without rain) Race Unity picnic on Sunday, June 11, in Carbondale. With lots of food, kids games, music and just plain talk, it was an afternoon that truly was the "human family reunion" it was meant to be. After running ads in the newspaper, having a full page feature article of coverage and TV interviews on site, it turned out to be a very successful public event proclaiming race unity for the Baha'is of Southern Illinois.
Bethany's 12th Birthday
Do you remember you're 12th birthday? I'm sure Beth won't! She sprained her ankle jumping on the trampoline. Her party was at Ultimate Gymnastics and everyone had a blast. Such a blast that our resident doctor in training friend Nick had to manipulate Beth's foot and put ice on it to get her through the afternoon. It didn't dampen her spirits though...she made it through the cake, ice cream, and of course, presents! Oh yes, and that little spanking and pinch, too.
