Valentine's dinner

I (dot) wrote this huge update from when we did the Valentine's dinner for our parents on February 17th, but I never did post it, so I thought even though it's almost a month late, I would post it:-D

Friday- I love sleeping at their house because they wake up at 5am and run around their track:-D so I was wide awake at 5 and everyone else was like really tired, but ya, I ran two whole laps...and it's a big track:-P hahaha! So then after they ran we ate breakfast and we had...drumroll please....BLUEBERRY MUFFINS!!!! I was SOOO happy...they've had them for like two years from the states, but they were SO good!!!! I have been craving blueberry muffins:-P hahaha! After the scrumtious breakfast we had devotions and then we all got ready for the morning and Hannah, I, Sarah Beth, and Kent planned out the schedule and the couple quarrel (our version of Family Feud:-P) questions till lunch. And then after lunch me, Kent, and Hannah made decorations and Bethy was doing her school


and Gracie and Hannah made this really good bread

and Sarah Beth and I made Lasagna...but ya, we forgot to seperate the lasagna noodles while they were cooking, so they were all stuck together...but hey, we've never made lasagna before:-P hahaha! So ya, we spent about 1/2 an hour making lasagna and peeling (or trying to) the noodles apart;-) But it was fun!!!


then at about 6 our parents came, but we were still running around getting dressed and ready, so then at about 6:30 we brought them out onto the porch and it looked georgeous!

we had put up lights and decorated it and everyone did an awesome job! We were all dressed up and then we served the food and then we did this skit. It was about fairy tale people and cupid (Andrew), and all the fairy tale people loved someone except for little red riding hood (Sarah) Then cupid ended up falling in love with her:-) it was so cute! So the fairy tale people were...Goldilocks (Hannah), Cinderella (Bethy), Beauty (me), Pinochio (Ian), Aladin (the second), Peter Pan (Benaiah) red riding hood (Sarah) and cupid (Andrew). And Gracie was the Manager who was a, " Football player in my prime." After that was all done then we went inside and the adults played couple quarell and then this questionare game while us kids all watched and took pics:-)

Bethy and Andrew in their cool koolats

Tuesday night Bethy and I figured out something else that we have in common....we both hate pies, except for Pecan pies:-D Isn't that weird? Us Woodbulls are figuring out new things about our family each time we see eachother:-P

climbing adventure

Today after we showed Salume the hotel milenium, Jirasaul (sp?) and The catholic church we went to Table Rock (actually it should be called table mountain but ya) So we climbed that, and from the bottom it looks really easy, so you're climbing and the bottom part is ok, then you get about midway and you're worn out (at least I was, cause I'm so outa shape:-P) and you look up and it is like a steep incline and you can see the top and you're thinking ok, I can make it, and you make it up, and then there's ANOTHER steep incline, and ya, after about 3 steep inclines you're at the top, and the view was spectacular...to the left was NAmpula, and to the right was mountains and GREEN GREEN grass...it was beautiful!!!! We stayed up on the mountain for about an hour talking, taking lots of pics, and laughing...it was so fun! But ya, poor Gracie was freaked out, caues Kent was going to far down the mountain:-) But we all survived and made it home in one piece..well kinda....

Kent fell down the mountain....not really...but it looks pretty good:-D
>

This is a really cool mountain....the face


Hannah and Gracie before we went climbing....we had to put sunscreen on:-D


Andrew, Hannah, and Sarah decided to take the scenic route:-D


And yes, they're still on the scenic route and we're at the top of the mountain


See, the mountain was STEEP


Nampula


The sun was shinning SO bright for a couple minutes, so we stuck andrew in front of it, and it looks like he's shinning:-P


And I love this pic of all of us who climbed the mountain...well almost all of us


And that was our lovely little climbing adventure:-D It was fun, hot, and at the end we each got water poured on our heads by Kent to cool us down:-) And now I'm home, and bored, cause the other half of our family isn't here:-( But we get to see them tomorrow:-D yeah!
Have a lovely Sunday ya'll!!!
