We were invited to attend a Greek Fest a friends house today. What a blast!
The food was great, we had. We had a humus, a Greek dip, Moussaka, Spanokapita and Baklava. All home made and all delicious!
We made the spanakopita! Yiayia's recipe from Greece- Justin made it this year and did an awesome job!
When we arrived the kids wrote their names in Greek.
We were encouraged to come in Ancient Greek dress, here's Amanda and Santori. I did try to get Amanda to walk and work to help spur on labor- we want to see this baby girl!
Oh, I think I heard "don't take a picture of my shoes." I try to be a good friend and listen.
Sitting around at our symposium, discussing what makes people happy and their favorite mythological characters.
Then it was outside for a pentathlon. Great climbing trees at this house!
Justin watching Shane throw the javelin. They also threw the discus, did the long jump, ran a short foot race and arm wrestled.
Eating all that yummy food.
The whole group of them. It was nice to be included in his event. As you can see,Justin is quite a it bit taller, and older, than most of the kids. He had a great time and does so well with younger ones, plus Faith, the only girl, is a good friend of his. I had a great time as well, we stayed well after it was over ad visited. I am so blessed to have such a great group of friends.
I'm thankful for Lisa fr putting this on and inviting us, I look forward to participating in some other events they host.
