Church Picnic

On Saturday night we went way way way out in the country to someone in our Ward to have a picnic. If you live here you know that our ward boundries are huge. It took us about 40 minutes to get to this house from Coweta. But it was so beautiful with a small pond and dogs running around. There were lots of outdoor activities for us and the kids. And of course there was a BBQ on top of that. We had the best time and the kids really loved it.


Lexie was not shy about running around getting into the muck of things. I always had to keep on eye out to make sure that she was ok most of the time. But with lots of friends there it made it easy to enjoy myself. This is Lexie and her good friend Riley. We hang out alot and they just loved this little puppy. They would follow it around everywhere.

Logan had a lot of fun with the boys his age there. There was even a pond where they went fishing with little poles. This is Logan posing for me by the pond. Once again we have that cheese smile that we try for him not to do.

Lexie and Gabe also tried at the fishing deal. Daddy was a big help with the wonderful Barbie pole that we had. The only kid to really catch anything was Gabe. It was tiny and we had to of course throw it back. But he was really proud of himself. I didn't get a picture because it took so long and I found myself somewhere else taking pictures.

They had this little juniper jump there and Lexie liked it only if there were no other kids playing. So we finally found a time to be alone and all she did was press her face up against the mesh. But she thought she was big stuff.

Gabe was such a stud while we were there. I turned around and saw that he had climed onboard the tire swing with these two girls and was having a good old time. You can see him smiling. He can be a real flirt when he wants to be. All those girls out there better watch out.

Here is Gabe and Logan doing some badmitton. They couldn't really hit the little birdie with the rackets so they were playing with a small beach ball instead.

I tried to show the boys how to play fetch with the dog and the frisbee, but they didn't know how to react with the dog. When you were holding the frisbee and running the dog would run after you and try to tackle you. This kinda scared both of them. They are not used to dogs that much.

Lexie on the swing, she didn't want to get off. I had to keep bribbing her to have her go somewhere else.
