July 3rd (4th of July party)

~i've tried changing the pictures twice and it keeps adding the wrong pics. the first four or so are from our vacation~

I woke up really early and went to a Flomarkt to sell some of the bins of clothes I. I went with Simon and Sara and we did really well. It was a lot of fun! I think we will do one in September as well. I still have lots of boxes of things to get rid of!

Right after the Flomarkt we hosted a July 4th party with our friends from church. It was a lot of fun! We had face paints that Uli brought, water balloons, sno~cones and sparklers for the kids. We tried finding fireworks but there weren't any. What we've heard is that in Germany, you are only allowed to light fireworks between certain dates around the new year. That is soooo German! hahahah. The weather was perfect! It was an awesome time!

Our friends, Nick and Shannon came into town that night and we spent a few days with them. We went to Heidleburg, to a castle there. We went swimming at Opelbad one day and we went to a woman FIFA World Cup game. It was New Guinea 0, Brazil 3. Shannon is really into soccer so it was neat to be able to go with them.
