Fourth of July Weekend

We had a wonderful, relaxing Fourth of July weekend. Our Sunday School teachers, Robert and Tina, went out of town so we house sat for them. I actually thought we did more pool sitting than house sitting which was fine by me. On Friday, we had the Moots and Gaumers over for an afternoon swim and played pool (with the homeowners permission of course).Tim having a little too much fun at the pool

Getting some practice...for babysitting

On Friday night we went to a cookout, game night, and fireworks show with a large group from our Sunday school class. The food was delicious, the games were competitive (go figure), and the fireworks lasted for about 30 minutes (we still haven't found a show that compares with Boomsday though).

We finished off a great weekend by spending time with some friends from Knoxville. Lori, Davis, and Mallory were in town to visit family. Her family has been gracious and invited us to participate in their family festivities for the past two years. And we LOVE it! They cook some mean brisket and ribs!!Lori, Mallory, and me sampling the yellow watermelon (they say you learn something new everyday; on Saturday I learned that there was such a thing as yellow watermelon)

Thanks to everyone who spent time with us; we had a blast!

Yo Macs. I am glad to see Tim and Cooper use the same ring floaty. At least he does not have to wear a swimming diaper still! I hope you guys are doing well.

I thought I would let you all know that we are heading out the first of August to start training for the mission field for at least three years, serving in Guadalajara, Mexico. We have just now started our blogspot page. www.mercerfamilynews.blogspot.com The area we are going to is up-to-date on technology, so we will stay in touch. Take Care. Darin, Katie, Cooper and Avery
