...and then there were pictures...

so...here they are...some pictures. mike's monthly gideon's meeting (yes...he is pretty much two generations younger than 95% of the other members! :)) was a family picnic in the park tonight. we chopped up our fresh from the farm stand watermelon, packed up the girls, and headed out for an evening of fun.

these first two are actually from our evening at the park last friday...

daddy and his girlies...

kater gator LOVED the slides

...and the rest are from our evening tonight...
this was a fabulous park, and though it was a bit of a drive, it was so kid friendly and had great playground equipment, walking trails, etc. we will d
efinitely head back sometime!

believe it or not, our typically timid elizabeth made an immediate bee-line for the tallest, twistiest slide...and LOVED it! she never ceases to amaze me. i should also mention that she talked the ears off of anyone at the picnic who was willing to listen...and when i say talked their ears off, i mean, seriously...the girl barely left a silent moment!

and then, there is kate...always fearless...making her way straight up the climbing wall without any hesitation...

...and proceeding straight across this "bottomless" bridge...

...in hot pursuit of sissy, who was a few yards ahead...

and...of course...there was great fun to be had on the slides...this might be one of my favorite pictures...just wish i'd have had my real camera instead of just the camera phone...

this one just might be one of my favorite pictures of all times...sisters loving and laughing together!
