Javier also got to meet the "new" pastor for Salem Baptist Church. Pastor Steve came to this church shortly after Javier went back to Spain, last year. Pastor Steve English used to play (American) football for college at Iowa State.
We went to Carson Park for the 4th of July. There are usually a lot of things to do here. It was raining, so it made things more difficult. The horses that came here went back home because they were frightened and also were not happy to be in the rain.
We walked through the Chippewa Valley Museum. One section of the museum has Native American Indian items. The Ojibwa was the local tribe in the Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls area.
Native American Indians were very artistic. :-)
This is a closer view of the picture above.Elizabeth, William, and Hannah are part Arapaho Indian. Don sometimes even looks Indian, even though he is more German, English, and other nationalities. :-)
The farm exhibit is inspired by a book written by one of Hannah's friend's fathers.
Javier said this sewing machine reminded him of his Grandmother's! My dad had a Singer sewing machine that he later gave to me. My dad was a tailor in Hungary, Paris, and in the United States.
Dick was a "cook" who guided us through the kitchen of the logging camp exhibit.
Javier, Dick, and William
Nick played the fiddle in the bunk (sleeping) quarters. Nick is the father of a student who goes to school with William.
We had ice cream in the old fashioned ice cream parlor in the museum.
Elizabeth was volunteering in the Chippewa Valley Museum. She was working with children.
We played with glow sticks while waiting for the fireworks to begin! This was Javier's idea to make the (modified) Olympic rings! :-) They also tossed the (American) football around. We watched the fireworks in Phoenix Park.
You can see the fireworks reflecting in the windows of the RCU building between Javier and William.
