Lost Pictures - 3/22/09

I'm fairly sure I haven't posted this pictures here before...On March 22nd, we went over to our friends house (Roger and Becky's) after church. Let me first start out by saying that Roger was supposed to do announcements at church that morning, but was running late, so Paul, the Youth Pastor, did them. Paul started the morning out with, "You know you live in Thailand when..." and filled in the blank with "you fill in doing the announcements for a guy who had to kill a snake that was attacking his cat in the yard and then went after his bike tire." Yes. Roger had walked out to ride his bike to church and there was a snake facing down his cat. So Roger tried to shoo the snake away and it bit the cat and then struck the bike tire. So Roger killed it. And, we got to hear this story about 1 hour before we were supposed to be over there for a cookout. Not exactly what I had in mind. But, apparently the snake was non-poisionous because the cat is still alive and kicking :)

Anyway, point to my story is that Roger and Becky were hosting a cookout at their house (absolutely huge and beautiful) as a last get together before Dan headed out and then Matt and Tricia headed out. It was a great time, we were late due to quick naps we snuck in on the kids, we got to swim for a long time and the kids (and Dan, i think) got to do the zip-line they have in their backyard. Too fun.

We have loved our house group from church and have enjoyed getting to know everyone...I'm not sure I post about them often, but it's been great. Here are some pics Tricia took and sent to me...funny to have me in the pictures :)
