It's been a big week for the older kids.
Sunday, they turned 16. We celebrated with high tea in Victoria, BC.
Monday, we crossed back into the USA in time to hear the fireworks, if not see them.
Tuesday, we traveled south 200 miles. Each of them took a turn at driving. Highway 101 is not for the faint of heart.
Wednesday, they got acquainted with their new laptop computers, a birthday gift that is cooler to them than any car.
Thursday, they said good-bye (from bed) to their NM grandma. One of the girls cranked out most of a quilt top that day. Packing began.
Friday, they squeezed in a birthday party with one of their friends.
Saturday, we dropped them off for their mission trip to Mexico. They'll be helping build a house for a poor family. They should be crossing the border by now.
Canada to Mexico in a week. What a way to turn 16!
