When we left my family reunion, we headed home to get the kids changed out of their muddy & lunch-ified clothes. After the two-hour trip (the kids' only nap time that day), we unloaded our car, which was full of beach stuff and a bunch of food. We got ready as quickly as we could and headed out to another picnic. The Liberty Place campus of LCBC had organized a gathering so families could get to know one another, and we had wanted to go, even though it had been a crazy and exhausting weekend.
We arrived extremely late and not at all hungry, but we took something to share, dropped it off at one of the tables, and then headed to the playground with the kids. We ran into several folks we knew, but we didn't really have much of an opportunity to meet any new people. It's a little harder when you have kiddos to 'mingle.' I did, however, meet one of Caleb's teachers. He recognized our little guy and called him by name before we even saw the name tags they provided. I had feared our kids would be spent from the long day they had already had, but they did GREAT! They loved the playground and had fun interacting with the other children.
Joshua has been really into swings lately. When he was little, he didn't like them all that much, but now he can't get enough. We posed for this picture and then I turned him around so the sun wouldn't be in his eyes. ;-) We left County Park around 8 pm to get the boys in bed. It was fun, and I'm glad we went. But, I'm still hoping to get to know more people from church when possible.
