Alice in Mediapolis

My friend Alice came home with me for the weekend from college. She is from Hangzhou, China (Alice is her American name). We enjoyed having her with us and I'm sure she had a lot of new experiences while she was here! :)

Friday night we played games with my brothers.
(Ok, let's be open and honest about this: I'm clearly getting smashed to pieces in Blokus. ;)) 
On Saturday my mom was having a garage sale for the citywide sale day, so Alice and I took the boys to some garage sales too!
She loved the big backyard!

On Saturday she got to drive the lawn mower, and it was quite an experience! 

Saturday evening we went to a singing at Troy and Joni's house. On Sunday we went to church, so she got to experience that for the first time and meet my friends and family there. After church, we did some homework and then taught her how to play baseball!

Alice caught on really fast and was getting some great hits! :)
We later went to Kent and Megan's house for a hamburger fry, and then watched the kids play baseball for awhile before heading back to college. It was a little sad to leave, as usual. We hope Alice will come back to visit us again!

Thank you for coming, Alice!

On another unrelated note, I would like to give a really late birthday shout-out to Travis. HAPPY 11th BIRTHDAY, TRAVIS! It's been almost a month, but I hope your day was super-wonderful! :)

Finals are coming up in one more week...and then summer will be upon us! :) Have a great week!
