the picnic

It's no secret I love a picnic.

What's not to love?  [Ok, ok, mosquitos can be a bear sometimes... but worth it!  And I guess, now that I use that figure of speech, that real bears would be much worse than mosquitos at any picnic!]

Our last America picnic (i think... only a few nights left and no more picnicking plans) was a blast.  Old old friends, we spent 8 sweet months with these folks during our first year of marriage, and oh the things the Lord has done in our lives and theirs.


Yet another gorgeous park.  (And you know I love that sky!)

We mamas visited.


And so did the dads.


And so did the kids :)


Two of the girls were interested in writing some characters and the chalk got well-used.  My kiddos weren't quite as captivated as the others.  But they churned out some impressive work (mostly numbers).


Aren't we a great looking group?!?!


[This is the best smile John Paul has ever dished out for a group photo.  If only we could gather with these folks for a Christmas card pic we'd really be in business.]


And we rocked the crazy face photo too!

These are the friendships we enjoy re-connecting with - and look forward to our next picnic too :)

Yes, you are a great looking group! Hard to believe your time in the states is coming to a close. You have made the most of it and have lots of great memories - and pictures!
Safe travels back 'home'!
Godspeed-
