Church picnic

Elizabeth learned a new word today - "PICNIC" - as we all had a great time at Bluegrass Christian Camp for our church's annual Memorial Day picnic.

The church provided the barbecue and all the rest of us brought side dishes and desserts, which resulted in a potluck feast that would have even made a Baptist church proud. :) The weather was beautiful, so after lunch, we spent the afternoon swinging, playing volleyball, basketball, or carpetball (you'll have to ask Jonathan about that one...he's the only one in our family who understands the rules), wading in the creek, and socializing.










We even had a good old-fashioned baptism in the creek at the camp. It was a middle-school girl who really loves the outdoors, so it was very fitting for her, and a wonderful highlight to the day. After the baptism, Elizabeth told me she wanted to "wear a white robe and go in the water." I'm not sure that counts as a profession of faith, but I guess it's a good start!



(Yes, that's the back of Jonathan's head in the picture - proof he was there!)

By the end of the day, everyone was exhausted. In fact, by 8pm, David, Jonathan, and Elizabeth were all in bed. And, right before she went to sleep, Elizabeth looked at me and asked, "More picnic?"
