Within three days we took two trips to E.P. Tom Sawyer State Park. On Sunday we went with our Adult Bible Fellowship class after church for our second annual picnic. We had a lot of fun, but it was much colder than we (or the weather man) anticipated. The forecast was low 70s and partly sunny. Well, it was not sunny at all and was probably about 50 degrees with a chilly wind. Needless to say we didn't stay that long, but while we were there we had a wonderful time of fellowship with our friends in the class. The second trip to the park occurred two days later on Tuesday. Julianne and I met up with Annabelle and Sarah for a fun picnic lunch and play time on the playground. It was a beautiful, sunny day without a cloud in the sky. I think it was probably in the 70s. Julianne and Annabelle had a great time at the playground. Julianne was a bit frustrated that she couldn't explore by crawling on the mulch, but her mommy thought her tender little hands and knees wouldn't fare too well. We went down the slide together and had fun swinging.

On Saturday night we went to dinner with Joe, Sarah, and Annabelle then came back to our place to let the girls play. I have included a picture of Julianne and Annabelle playing at our house. We are trying to hang out with Annabelle and her parents as much as possible in the next month since they will be moving back to the St. Louis area at the end of May. We will miss our dear friends, but we look forward to visiting them when we're in town. Here are some pictures!

Clinging to the pole for dear life


Funny face


Pushing Annabelle around in my cart - ok, maybe I didn't push her anywhere, but I sure wanted to


Giving Abby a hug - Abby's not too fond of my hugs


It's a bird. It's a plane. No, it's Super Baby!


A sweet ball of baby taking a nap


Play time outside


I love to stand at the door and look out


I haven't realized that I can't fit through some small spaces, but I'll keep trying anyway
