Tonight we went to our annual church picnic. It started out pretty warm, but there was a nice breeze, which felt good. They never fail to put on an awesome spread. It was catered by the Beechwood Inn, and had all of the trimmings for a perfect summer bbq - pulled pork, bbq chicken, coleslaw, cheesy potatoes, cookies, brownies. Oh so good.

Of course, you just can't beat the games the games and entertainment. Growing up, our church picnics used to involve egg tosses, obstacle courses and relay games. Oh no, not at Remembrance. They had a big inflatable obstacle course and a climbing wall! The competitive spirit came out in Jason and Eric, and they just couldn't resist giving the obstacle course a try. It was a close race, but Jason beat Eric by a hair. I have the feeling that Eric is already in training for payback next year!

Jason tailing Eric, but he really did come out ahead :-)
The fire station down the street couldn't resist the free food, so they had a couple of fire trucks in the parking lot to view. They even had a hose hooked up to a fire hydrant and were letting kids spray out a "fire" from a little wooden building fascade. The two big kids couldn't resist the chance to try out the hose. I will say that at least they waited until the line of little kids dwindled down so as not to embarrass themselves too badly.

All of the activity wore Hannah right out.
