Sunday at Susquehannock Park

Eventually, after church, we were finally all at 

the park for a picnic and walk on Sunday.

I say, finally, because there is always so much 

to do and gather when we do a fairly 

"spur of the moment"

picnic.

It was so disorganized that no one thought it 

unwise for our family to be the carriers of the 

plates and plasticware.

Um....we were the ones going home to 

let the dogs out, gather things out of the oven

and load the car.

Then we were the ones stopping at the grocery store

to pick up last minute food for the picnic.

Others headed straight from church and got to 

the park with their food way ahead of our family, 

the Moms and Pastor Mike.

They had their food.

They had no plates.

They had no plasticware.

I heard that someone used two knives 

as chopsticks to get some salad to their 

"starving" mouth.

(smile)

Fingers work too, you know!

Anyway, we did get there 

and then the fun began. 

Haha.

After lunch some of us walked 

to the 

Overlook.  

It continues to be just so beautiful looking out over the river.

We talked about books we've been reading

and other fun things as we walked and enjoyed time in the sunshine.

It was a bit chilly in the shade on Sunday.

I interrupted Noah's quiet/thinking time to take his picture.

He is just growing so quickly.

A new brother is about to be born in their family and he will 

be the oldest brother of his 5th sibling.

What a great smile!

 Zeb was a gentleman and walked with Molly 

across the meadow back to the picnic area.

All of the other children had run on ahead .........

 I love the walking stick.  As tall as Zeb himself.

 There was a bonding moment.....or three....

as Mindy spent time with a very pleased Sherlock.

We think that Sherlock makes a great mascot for our church

since he often comes along with the family for the day.

On the days he doesn't get to come

he is at home with Christian Radio playing.

So, he is the most Christian pet in the church, we figure.

 After the young ones and some of the dads had worn themselves out 

playing Ultimate Frisbee, they had a great chat about all kinds of fun stuff.

I didn't capture all of them but the table was surrounded.

I got distracted by a most adorable site.

My husband with Asher and Sonja.....

These precious ones belong to Sherlock's family.

I got a preview of what kind of a Grandpa 

Warren might be one day, if the Lord blesses us with 

grandchildren.

Check it out....

So stinkin' cute. 

Even blurry as it is.

Asher had quite the hold on Warren's neck.

It was a delightful day.

Much conversation, laughter...both at and with our friends, 

good food and exercise made it lovely.

Wish you could have been there.

Then it would have been just perfect.
