Wierd fruit, concerts and eating out in Wisconsin

Early Saturday morning, while the older girls were still sleeping, Claire pulled out our geneology book I'd compiled and we talked about our ancestors. They were persecuted for their faith in Switzerland many years ago. Some left that country to find freedom to worship. Some moved to Montbeliard, France, for a time, then on to Prussia, before arriving in American in 1874. My mother's family came directly from Switzerland to the States in 1833.

Psalm 78:3-4 NIV

"Things we have heard and known,
things our ancestors have told us.
4 We will not hide them from their descendants;
we will tell the next generation
the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord,
His power, and the wonders He has done."

We had planned to take Claire to soccer practice, but she wasn't feeling the best. A slight fever. Glad they send us photos and videos of Claire playing soccer. Would have been nice to have seen her in action. But, when one doesn't feel good... (A few days later, a few of us also got a fever for a few hours. Luckily, it was short-lived.)

Here is a photo they had sent us of Claire playing soccer.

While Allen watched Claire, the older girls and I went to the grocery store.

We purchased a fruit we had never had before.

It wasn't bad - it was like unflavored kiwi. Just odd.

Gillies for lunch! Claire said she was up to it.

We played Racko! I really enjoy this game.

In the evening, the older girls had a pizza/bowling party. Hannah drove them. We had a quiet evening with Claire.

The next morning, Hannah drove us to church.

Sophia helped with nursery.

Hannah does the tech stuff.

This younger generation - it just is easy for them!

Adam and Jill came home from Minnesota in time for Hannah's 1st concert. Covid protocol so Adam sat with his parents in one section and we sat in another.

Hannah is 2nd from the left on front row.

Sophia, a 7th grader, accompanied this highschool girls' choir with the cello.

Hannah had another concert later so she stayed there, but the rest of us went out to eat at a place called Backyard. We enjoyed eating and watching Phil Mickelson win the PGA!
