On Saturday the whole Wray Fam, minus Ellie, were able to spend several hours together. We all gathered in NC, first at Karin's school and then at Dan's office building to play games and party as part of John's Marine Corps retirement celebration.
At the school the guys all played basketball and football, and then just about all of us joined in a rousing game of soccer: 2nd generation vs. 3rd generation. The 3rd generation outnumbered us by something like 67 to 1, but we still dominated.
Then after a game of kickball it was time to go back and change into nicer clothes for the party at the FHG headquarters. Mom went all out with decorations and food plans -- red, white, and blue everywhere!
After dinner there was a slide show and a video -- and even a song by the Cousins Choir (who, for the record ALL willingly participated, even though it was optional!)
Then Dan challenged us to be like Joshua and Caleb -- and John -- and see the good that God promises us rather than the obstacles. And finally, at 11:30 pm, we all went home and crashed into bed.
