Wee People Picnics

One of the boys' favorite things about summer is our Wee People Picnics. Cookie, the children's director at church, invites all children ages 0-3 (plus their siblings and parents) to her home three times during the summer for a picnic lunch. Cookie lives on 70 acres and has horses, cows, chickens, pheasants, a pond, a paddle boat, an island...the place is any kid's dream. She sets out finger foods and just lets the kids set the pace.

Wednesday was the second picnic of the summer. Our entertainment this week was watching Cookie's daughter attempt to catch an escaped calf. The water was a bit cool for swimming, but TJ still went on a paddle boat ride and was involved in a pretty intense water gun fight. Sam played with his ever-present squirt bottle and threw sand at people who got too close with their water guns. Nolan kept me on my toes up on the deck. He figured out pretty quickly that he could pull himself up to the table with all of the food, and could reach the banana bread! He loves banana bread, and managed to consume a rather alarming amount.

It's hard to believe there's only one picnic left this summer!
