Vacation in the USA


We've just returned to Managua after a couple weeks of visiting family and friends in Pennsylvania and Virginia.  It was quite an eventful time; we'll just share a few of those moments here.

Working with Grandma on what would become a baby blanket

A family and friends gathering in Lancaster.  We were humbled by the travel time some put in to make it.
One of many games of Tic Tac Toe with Grandpa
Visiting Naomi and Andrew, their new house, new dog, new jobs, in Charlottesville
Apple picking with Naomi, Grandma and Grandpa Good at Carter Mountain Orchard, Charlottesville
Meeting new baby cousin Evelyn at Hannah and Pierce's home in Richmond
Another gathering near Harrisonburg at the Hershberger barn. We were really glad to have this chance to reconnect, although briefly, with many good friends!
With Jim and Ann at their farmhouse. We really appreciated their hospitality and conversation!

With Miguelito at Harrisonburg's International Festival

Back in Lancaster, Silas learns to ride a bike without training wheels.  Great fun.
Last evening with the Charles family, hosted at Michael and Rachael's home
Last evening with the Good family, also last gathering before Clair and Beth move to eastern Congo for their new roles with MCC.
