waterslides & watermelon

we had a church wide picnic on sunday... and it was SO much fun! shout-out and special thanks to ken and debbie for opening up their beautiful home/yard to us! my family and i (and by family i mean my WHOLE family, which is pretty cool to worship each week with my entire fam) attend argo christian fellowship. i've grown up in that church, and i love it! recently we've had a lot of new members join, and it's neat watching the body of christ grow and making new friends. if you are looking for a small - but- growing friendly church with awesome people who love god, come visit us! there's something for everyone!

back to the picnic... there were waterslides for the kids (and adults. i played on them for a while and boy did i pay for it the next day!) and volleyball games that may or may not have lasted for 2-3 hours! :) there was also badmitton, croquet, food, just a whole lotta fun and fellowshippin' going on! i took a ton of pics. i know you are all shocked! :) so here's your warning: if you don't wanna see a bazillion pics of some super cute kids, just stop reading this post now! ha. seriously, i did combine a TON of them by making photo collages at shutterfly to try and reduce the number of pics. ok, i also made the collages b/c i think it's really fun! just like i've been editing my pics at photobucket, which is also very addicitng fun! all in all, trace LOVED the slides. seriously. he barely stopped to eat 2 chicken nuggets and a chunk of watermelon. his lips were chattering by time nate drug him away from the slides, and his skin was all wrinkly like a dried prune! lucas on the other hand, HATED the slides. however, he did enjoy walking around like a big boy everywhere, chasing balls around, and eating anything that he could get his hands on! whether it was offered it to him or not! ha.
