Church Picnic

Every year our church has a picnic at the beginning of summer. We usually have it at Triple R Ranch, but due to rain it was pushed back a few weeks and held at our church. This picnic is always such a highlight for the kids - lots of games, snowcones, horserides and fun!

Our church also uses this picnic as a way to reach out to the community. The boys heard the pastors say, "Invite your friends to join us at the church picnic." Well, they did just that. Ryan and Trevor invited the boys that they always play with in our neighborhood. Cody and Marcus are a little bit older than Ryan, but they wanted to come. They came to church and then the picnic afterwards.

One of the boys' favorite games this year was jousting. Here is Ryan waiting in line with his friend Durant.

Here's Trevor and his friend Gordon waiting in line.


And here they are putting on their gear.



Anderson enjoying another snowcone. (I think each of the boys had 3).




This year Anderson was the only one of our boys to ride the ponies. As you can see, he loved it!





Cai did really good, considering the fact that he didn't have a nap. I wish you could see his shirt better. Aunt Katie and Uncle Sean bought it for him for his birthday. It is a heart with "Mom" written in the center of it. It looks like a tattoo. So cute!
