Yesterday was the picnic at Thompson Park. It was awesome to see my missions buddies (missed you Sammi!). We played tag with David, Mathias, Beth and Jesse, baseball, "exploring", went to the playground, barbequed (It's ok Duri, you can try again next time...we don't mind black chicken hehe:), and listened as Phil and Judy told us about their life in Senegal. It got chilly afterwards and the seagulls tried to eat our food while we were praying, but it was so much fun. I realize everytime we get together what a special gift we have- to be able to just come together after so long and just pick up where we left off. They feel like family. It's great to have such a support group, people you feel you can really connect with. I hope we can get together in August when Aunt Jane and Uncle Guy come (Aly- Jane and Penney. lol).
I'm thinking about going back to OPC this summer...I kinda miss it. The kids are really great, and the other chalet leaders are so much fun. Summer decisions are so hard! :)
