So with only one week remaining until our fun-filled reunion, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that it's finally starting to warm up here. The bad news is that right now the forecast predicts rain for every day that you are here. That could ruin some plans. Our tentative plan was to spend a day at the National Zoo (FREE), a couple of days in DC for all those feeling touristy (weather won't affect that), a day at a national park where you can hunt for fossilized shark teeth on the beach, a day close to home-- playing frisbee golf, bocci ball, croquet, etc. with a picnic, and on that Sunday going to see some gardens here that are beautiful. Anyhow, you can see that rain might make our plans a little trickier. So keep your fingers crossed. Dinner plans include: a trip to the Rainforest Cafe, a Baltimore crabfest at the Dastrups, and adults' dinner night at Gertrudes (I succeeded in getting reservations for all of us together), so please budget accordingly! One last thing-- we've been trying to keep all of the days you're here clear, but we had to schedule an appointment for Jacob to see a surgeon (about the pocket of fluid under his belly button) the afternoon that you get here. I apologize, but it was the first time they could get him in. Brigham will take him, and I'll still be here to play hostess. Let the games begin! It's not too late to submit any ideas or requests to the party-planning committee!

They asked if he'd like to talk about religion and he invited them in and said he'd love to. To make a long story short, he asked what makes the Jehovah's Whitnesses special and what was their "compelling doctrine". Their response was "well, we read the bible." Craig- "So do the Baptists, Catholics, and Mormons..... so what is special about your church" JW's- "we belive in Jesus Christ" Craig- "so do all of the Christians.... " JW's- "We preach the gospel" Craig- "Um... that still isn't original. Tell me why I should listen to you over anyone else" JW's- "Umm... I don't know..." Craig- "Well I'll tell you what the Mormon's compelling doctrine is that makes us different from everyone: We have ...

Rain or shine, we'll have fun. Except the whole crab thing. I'll pass on that.
