Jalna Searle's 90th Birthday, Party in Shelly, Idaho

Breakfast with Michael, Blake, Reg, and Patt

Beach in front of Michael and Autumn's home; children play in the Pacific Ocean all afternoon and this evening Michael and Autumn provided salad, pizzas, and soft drinks.  The children played on the waves and swim in the ocean.  Michael and Autumn had games for the adults, youth, and children to play on in the sand.

Ethan and Luke came home with us.  Maggie did not go back to San Marcos but came home.  Her church clothes are here in her room where I have been sleeping.  She is sleeping with her mother tonight.  The children all took showers at the pool and hot tub here in the apartment complex.  We had family prayer before going to bed. 

Debbie called today.  Jalna, her mother, came to her 90th birthday party in Shelly park today and really enjoyed everything.
