Church Picnic

We decided to go to our church's parish picnic. Mark and I have been going to church her for a couple of years now and we still know very few folks. Plus, the few that we have met really only know us as Lydia's mom and dad (that includes the priest). You really don't realize how large our church is since we have three different Masses over the weekend.

The picnic was held at a local park with a pool and putt-putt golf. We originally planned to play putt-putt but as usually Lydia had other plans. She decided to be sleepy and kinda cranky...that is until my high school history teacher's grandson came up to her and asked to go walk with him...then she was all smiles and giggles. There is a picture of them somewhere on the camera but I cannot find it. (our memory card has been eating our pictures....)
They had fun stuff for the kids planned. While Lydia slept through some of it, Sleeping Beauty did wake up in time to play with the bubbles.

Here is Lydia trying to help.

This was a pretty neat contraption. You put a small hole in the side of the cup and insert a straw. then you put a cloth on the top and "seal" it with a rubber band. Then you place the top in dish washing liquid.

It made some impressive bubbles.

She called them snakes and chased them around the park.
