Memorial Day Picnic







Sunday Grandpa and Grandma joined us for our church wide annual picnic. We kicked off the fun with some games. Emily & Bill did the water balloon toss, Grandma & Emily hopped along trying to keep a ball between their knees. Emily also did a Dizzy relay race where she ran down to the mark and was supposed to spin while holding a giant pool noodle. She preferred to talk into the noodle instead! Ha. At this point Anna & I went over to the playground because she was getting a little upset that she could not do the games. However, I am told them Emily was amazing in the potato sack race and Bill & his father did the wheelbarrow races. Which I am sure was a big hoot!

I got to chat a little bit with some of my fellow parkwood mommies which was nice! Then we dined on hot dogs and hamburgers and finished with a beautiful service where we sang the star spangled banner and our pastor interviewed a war veteran, Mr. Webb. I did not get to hear most of his story because Anna was yelling MINE so we went to the playground again. I am so thankful for the sacrifice our military heroes have made for me. Please take a moment to pray for them and their families this Memorial Day!
