Annual Church Picnic

Our church may have changed their name from Creekside Christian Fellowship to Journey Christian Church, but the annual Memorial Day Weekend Church Picnic was the same as ever- Fun, Fun, Fun!!

My sweet, sweaty boys!

Julie and Me- Say Cheese!

Our family looks forward to this every year (I wish we had more of them throughout the year). I love our church family and this picnic is a great way to hang out with old friends and meet new ones.

This is our 5th year going (I think the first year we went was the first year they held it) and although our children have grown and are independent at the picnic, the fun is still the same (maybe even better now that I don't have to follow the kids everywhere).

There is a bounce house, hamburgers and hot dogs grilled, potluck style food (lots of yummy stuff), kid games in the park (sack races, three-legged race, spoon/egg race) and of course we need the softball game.

The race is on!

This is a highlight for Dan. He is totally exhausted when we get home, but he gets to throw balls to kids who really want to hit, play catch, and just be on a team for an hour or so. This year I was able to play with him and the rest of the folks who wanted to and we had such a blast. The great part is that even if you aren't playing, you are part of the game- you are cheering on the players. Everyone hangs out with everyone in a relaxed environment and this year was no exception!!

Dan on the field!
