I had a really good weekend. We had a church hot dog roast at a family from church’s fish farm on Saturday. It was a lot of fun. It is absolutely beautiful there, and we had gorgeous, perfect weather. We could not have asked for better weather. Kyra and Elijah had an absolute blast. They played all day. Well, Elijah played until he gave out, and then he slept on the ground for a couple of hours. I socialized to my little heart’s content, and enjoyed every minute of it. I was sad that Chris had to work and couldn’t go, but I did have fun despite my disappointment. We went on a couple of hayrides…one in the daylight, and then one after dark. We had a Tug-of-War tournament…men (and boys) against women (and girls)…and the women’s team won three out of five times. Oh, yeah! We roasted hot dogs and marshmallows, and enjoyed the bonfire. It was a really nice time. I of course took some pictures to share with you, my oh, so, lately-neglected blog readers.

Here is everyone on the hayride.

Elijah was sleeping very soundly, despite the hard ground underneath him.

My mom and dad.

Skylar, Alyssa, and Courtney struck a pose for me.

Me and Misty, trying for the third time to get a good picture of the two of us to frame.

Me and Kyra on the hayride.

The many faces of Kyra and her friend, Emily!

Me and Ms Tammy on the hayride.

Elijah finally woke up.

Kyra was telling Bro. Bret a secret. I’d tell you what she said, but then I would have to kill you.

My pastor and his family.

Elijah wasn’t as excited about this picture as Emily was.

All in all, it was an absolutely wonderful day. Everyone had a good time. I can’t wait for the next one!
