On the 4th of July, we had all 8 missionaries in our ward over for dinner. Terri made up the feast consisting of pulled pork sandwiches, corn on the cob, a few salads (including my favorite fruit saled), some type of yummy potato, plenty of chips, dip and salsa, peanut butter bars, lemon squares, rice crispe treats, brownies, homemade ice cream, and plenty of Goose Island (a Chicago original) root beer, orange cream and grape soda. I think there was more, but you get the point.
Tyler and Ashlin found the kid pool and had to jump in. A missionary was trying to get the kids quiet by playing "Nija Rock" (basically kneel down on the ground and see who can be quiet the longest) only to be out-smarted by Haley who quickly said all of the missionaries have to play. We also introduced them to the great midwestern game of "Cornhole".
We had such a great time that we hope to keep this as one of our family traditions that we can do every year.
