Memorial Day Fun

We had our annual Memorial Day church picnic today! I’m not a big out-doors kind of girl, so I kind of avoid picnics in general, because obviously you have to be outside to participate. However, our church picnics are held at a place with an air conditioned, fully functional restroomed building. So I can stay inside, avoiding sunburn, and eat all of the awesome food.Speaking of which, I LOVE potlucks. Well, really I love all food, but especially when everyone prepares their best dish and brings it to share. My favorites today were a spicy cheese pasta and a fabulous lemon-pudding-cake-blackberry thing. I was so stuffed, but oh so happy!

Other nice things… The weather was kind of cloudy so no one got burned, even if they went outside. Isaiah is finally old enough that he can run off and play with his friends without me worrying that he’ll leave the park. And Leah is so cute that everyone in the church is happy to carry her around, so I don’t have to worry too much about her either.

We ended the day with a baptism service in the lake. Our whole group joined hands at the waters edge for prayer and my pastor’s wife snagged a couple of sun bathers to join us. Then the baptizers and the baptizees stepped into the water. Chris got to baptize one of our youth and I’m super proud of her. Probably the most exciting part is that a couple friends of our church people came to the picnic and ended up deciding to get baptized at the last minute!
