WHAT A PACKED DAY!!!!

It started out with a beautiful SUNRISE as we were driving to the temple for our shift.  This fall has provided us with some of the most gorgeous sunrises and sunsets we have seen in a while!

 After our shift ended, we headed over to Bethesda (about 15 minutes from the temple) to attend a

FINNISH FESTIVAL.  We were ticked to have heard about this so we could go.

 Most of the crowd had thinned out by the time we got there about 1:15 p.m.  That was just fine with us.  

 We still found a few bargains though......have no fear, I found a nice pair of IITALA candleholders.  Love them....and I didn't have to ship them home!

 We had to visit the cafeteria to see what they had.....low of behold, there was a nice variety of authentic FINNISH FOODS!  And delicious too!

 Then it was over to the book store to catch Laurie before she left from her BOOK SIGNING.  How fun to get the FINAL book in her series!  I have loved very much reading these books and will miss not having another one!  GREAT JOB LAURIE!!

 Homeward bound just as the sun was setting.....oh yea.  It was Matthew's birthday party at our home.  Bless his heart......he was having a 'BIKE PARTY' because he got a new bike.

 And it indeed looked like a HUGE SUCCESS.  Happy 5th Birthday Matthew-do!!

Had a great Saturday......speaking again tomorrow in the Walkersville Ward.  I think that makes about 4 wards we have spoken in.  We have surely enjoyed being able to share our mission experience!!
