Yesterday was the 4th of July, and although it was a very rainy day, we had a good day. John and I and Ryan and family went to John’s cousin’s house for a Howerter family reunion. It was a lot of fun. It rained the entire time that we were there, but they had a big pole barn, so we were able to stay dry inside. Zeke and his brother and 2 sisters were there with many of their kids and grandkids. Sara got to meet these folks for the first time, and the grandkids got to play with some of their cousins. The resident cat had kittens, so Josiah and Elijah were very excited to get to hold them. The kids were all very good, but they were dirty when we left. They had climbed all over the equipment that was in the barn. They had a great day, and so did I.
