As part of saying goodbye to summer, the kids enjoyed some fun - and instagram worthy pictures with the sparklers. Good to enjoy some fun shots - and good to get a look at the world through our kids' eyes (or at least through the cameras on their smartphones.)

Meanwhile, in Ohio...
The Jungle
At the Young Life Camp, Reeve's friends were aghast that Reeve lived right next to the jungle, but never really went into the jungle. It is a bit hard to explain - but it isn't as though the jungle is very accessible - it is so dense and not exactly easy to enter - no trails in our neighborhood and not really wanting to go a few feet in and stand next to a tree - not much reason for that. So here is a picture of the jungle in our neighborhood to illustrate why we might not just go stand in the jungle.

Rania & Costa Rica
Rania is enjoying - and wrapping up some of the end of the Grandkids Costa Rica trip. I don't have pictures currently - and fun to see and hear the highlights from their trip. Perhaps can add pictures and highlights later. How great that grandma could return from Rome just in time to head to Costa Rica - and have the tax issues solved as part of working a year in Rome. Also, praise God that dad (Rania's Grandpa) is able to go and enjoy the final grandkids trip.

A Day in Amsterdam
En route back to KL and preparation for moving into our new school, Doug had the chance to stop in Amsterdam for a long layover. Getting into the city on a summer is always fabulous - and what a chance to get to visit the Anne Frank House - and so sobering and so enlightening to read so much about just one person's story during a horrific time in history. And what a change once moving outside - and seeing such a picturesque city!

Hamilton!
For our anniversary (a bit early), we decided to splurge and get tickets to go to Hamilton, which was showing in Cleveland. It was a wonderful evening out - and what a spectacular show! What a treat to get to witness such a popular and inspiring musical event in person. It was a fun evening out - and so wonderful to get a first crack at Cleveland's theater scene.

Pre-Grandkids Tour Meal
With Rania and Micah getting ready to head off on the third and final grandkids trip to Costa Rica, everyone began to meet in Washington DC. Tracy, Gabi and Rania drove from Ohio (while Doug and Reeve were still in Oregon waiting for the conclusion of the Young Life Camp) and were ready for the big trip. So fun!

Freeze Daddy's
When you have family that owns a local ice cream shop, there need to be a lot of wonderful chances to stop and enjoy the ice cream there, right? A great picture of Rania outside the shop.
