Shar & Ashelee

This week, we had some more friends arrive from Hawaii. Shar and Ashlee are in Minneapolis for the Jr. Olympics Volley Ball Tournament. Ashelee's team made it to the finals. They only got to spend one night with us due to their game and practice schedule but we had a wonderful time none the less. We went down to the new water front park in downtown Elk River and took pictures overlooking the Mississippi. It was a beautiful evening.
Shar and I had a great time reminiscing about the old days. She and I went on Summer Missions together to Japan 16 years ago and have been friends ever since.
Of course we took them to Cabela's and had fun at the shooting gallery. We had a little scare when Jonah fell out of the shopping cart and hit his head pretty hard. He then got really sleepy and threw up on the way home so it was off to the urgent care clinic. We had to keep a close eye on him overnight but he seems to be fully recovered and back to his normal self. We were thankful that Shar was there to stay with the kids and also call home for advice from her Honolulu Fire Fighter husband... Thanks Tommy! We hope they will bring the whole family next time and stay for a good long visit.
