Church Picnic

We had our 4th of July picnic last night at Paul and Jeanette's place. We had a great time and the boys did WONDEFUL! They have a pond and also an awesome creek on their land. I didn't remember the creek being there. (We didn't get to go last year since we were in New Orleans...did I mention that I miss New Orleans?) After dinner, the boys played in the creek for a couple hours. Aedan fell into the creek, but he was fine:) Josiah spent his time trying to catch salamanders. As they are getting older, it is getting easier to come to events like this. We did have help watching them...actually, Vivian and Randall (two of our youth) did all the watching. They are both sooooo great with our children and we REALLY appreciate them. Ryan and I actually had adult conversations. Mercy was great...she didn't cry at all (except on the way home). She downed a whole bottle at the picnic! Bottle=Freedom for me:)
