A Picnic To Remember

The weather this past weekend was BEAUTIFUL and we took full advantage of it. To celebrate our two year anniversary of Referral Day we joined the other families that traveled with us to China and had a picnic!! We couldn't have had a more perfect day. We all came after church packing picnic baskets filled with fabulous food. We lined up our tables, piled on the food, ate, talked and laughed while the little ones ran around enjoying the warm sunshine. It was a day that we all will remember. Some of us even joined another group of our friends in a friendly game of Kickball. We are so blessed to live near all of these dear people that we share such a special bond with. One family couldn't make it(they are in China right now) which means that next time we get together, we'll have one more blessing to celebrate. Clara Beth and her daddy deciding what to do next.

One of MANY wagon rides........Thanks John!!


Thinking about another giant Cheeto.................




and having another giant Cheeto!!



Getting a big hug from a big sister.





Talking, eating and enjoying it all.






Taking a break from some fun.







Wondering when we'll have another great picnic!!




Hoping it is VERY soon. What a great way to spend a day!!!



This week I hope you find green grass and trees and warm sunshine where ever you might be. By the looks of the trees around here spring is a "burstin". It's so refreshing after the cold of winter.



Until next time..............................
You let me rest in the fields of green grass.
You lead me to streams of peaceful water, and You refresh my life.
Psalm 23:2

Looks like you guys had a great time, we wish we could have been there. Things are much better in Guangzhou. Not impressed with the rooms.
