Lucky Number 13

We're leaving for China in 13 days! The number 13 is not considered "unlucky" in China but the number 4 is- go figure! Picking up lots of travel size stuff and getting everything ready.  It's hard to wrap my head around packing for 2 weeks worth of clothes and stuff! Still waiting for our visas/passports to arrive.

Rachel had her "friends" birthday party at the lake yesterday.
It turned out to be a nice day even though it was a little chilly for August.  Can't believe she is almost 8 years old and starting 2nd grade soon!
