Well, the picnic went really well. We talked and ate and talked some more. The kids swarmed enmasse at the Park, where they  behaved themselves among the prized Rhododendrons. The boundaries being, don't go past the cemetery or the hedges. I didn't have much of a chance to really chat to too many as I had the care of my lil guy and needed to attend to my others on occasion.

I just took some parting shots of my kids. The last hooray was a play in the sandbox for Kellen. For the last few days we have been experiencing a huge bank of thunder clouds and claps. The booms are heard all  across the valley and I am tempted to pull out our Ken Hamm AIG books and look up clouds and thunder and the like and read them before bedtime. I will jot it down for another day!
