Family Night in a Tipi!!

Brother and Sister Smith invited us to their tipi for family night on Monday. (Not everyone as a real Indian tipi in their back yard!) Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of the Smith's or their tipi, but we enjoyed a fun evening with them, roasting marshmallows over a fire in the tipi and getting to know them. Sister Smith used to be a gymnast prior to an accident that broke her neck and put her in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. She is such a wonderful example of humility and enduring to the end. I'm not sure what Brother Smith does, but he used to be a clown and has won multiple awards for his balloon creations. He shared some of them with us.
