Amerika and back to Indonesia

Coming back to all of our family and friends in America for 6 weeks was AWESOME! We enjoyed spending time together laughing and chatting over meals, at baseball games, driving old Model-Ts, rock  climbing, hiking, tasting local brews, tasting the local catch, celebrating birthdays, Independence day and much, much more! Many thanks to all of you who opened up your homes to us, fed us, played with us and/or took time out of your schedules to spend with us! We are richly blessed by our family and friends! THANK YOU!
A BIG fan!
