Kate's birthday

It was Kate's birthday yesterday- and also a celebration of Ruslan's birthday last week, and their wedding in -20 days, as Ruslan counts it.

Kate and Trac and Ruslan spent a lot of time on Saturday developing a rally-type game-
her friends met at our place, then when they were ready Kate gave them their first task. They earned directions to the next check point by completing the task.
I was stationed at Check point 2, where a team member had to act the word "dream" as a charade for the rest of the team to guess. Luke was at Point 3 by the Spring with a mathematical problem for them to deal with- in total there were 6 check points. We all "ended up" at a picnic in the forest, where Ruslan had set out picnic blankets, goodies, and got the sheshlik cooker fired up and cooking some kebabs.



Kate and Friends
The late afternoon glow drifted down into a dusky darkness- then the rising moon brought with it a light of a different quality. What beauty we have at our doorstep.
Happy Birthday Kate and Ruslan!
