Despite having a full house this week as Alex, Kaitlyn, Kyra, and Julian visited, we definitely missed Zaque and the rest of the family. Fortunately we have the internet, and as a result we were able to join in video calls with my entire family in the early afternoon, and then with our awesome missionary in the evening.
Here’s the whole gang, including Thom, Katie, and Sefton trucking through Snoqualmie Pass while the rest of us relaxed at our various homes:
Later we had a chat with Zaque, and his hair was… something. The way it caught the fluorescent light behind him was magical.
The call included a few times when all of us were roaring with laughter, including his demonstration of how to create “leg hair dreadlocks” (it’s a long story):
He regaled us with stories of driving through a mob, “backing” the car, and narrowly escaping a street thug who was looking to “mess up” some Mormons. He even strummed his ukelele for a bit.
Our two family calls, coupled with an amazing dinner where each of us contributed a favorite dish, made it a grand day. I love these kinds of days.
