Picnic

CJ was the only one brave enough to hop on the lion when we arrived.

BA's first time on a tire swing

CJ eventually learned to climb the rock wall. When he started he was climbing with his knees!

Brothers :)
(And we do "have a ball!")

I know she doesn't look thrilled, but she insisted to "get" the lion.

We ended with the lion too...and by the end both boys were thrilled to "ride."

Last weekend we were invited to the local children's home for a picnic. We weren't expecting to go, but we are sure glad that we did. The weather was perfect, and we all had a grand time. The first thing the kids noticed was the lion display. For some reason right now all three kids are fascinated with those animals. They all carry their own lil' stuffed lions around the house. They even sleep with them. Anyway, at the picnic we enjoyed the bouncy slides, playground area, face painting, games, and even a delicious BBQ meal. I am so grateful for the wonderful people at the children's home. We enjoyed the picnic, but even more, we are thrilled to be a part of such a wonderful group of people that take serious the responsibility of caring for the fatherless.
