Get-Togethers

We had a great get-together with friends last weekend.

It was actually an end of bible study dinner that was suppose to be couples only.

And was suppose to take place months ago.

But due to illness, conflicts in schedules, the birth of a precious little one, and lack of child care it ended up being a family potluck by the river.

While the dads took the kids down to the river the mamas and babies stayed on the river bank. (Sorry no river pictures, the dads are not the camera kinda dads.)

After some yummy food and lots of water play we all went to see the horses.

The children (and parents) had a great time feeding and petting the horses and playing on the hay. Ben had an eye level view of the horses, which he loved.  Sadie and Hope, I think these two girls are always going to be great friends. And these boys, they LOVED all this space to run and do “boy things”.

Ava had a great time just relaxing and taking it all in. Yes, she is as precious as she looks!

Don’t think for a moment that Amanda has given up her hobby since sweet little Ava arrived. This is one multi-tasking mama. Hmmm, Ava may just grow up to love picture taking as much as her mama.

It really did not take much effort to get together with a few families and enjoy a wonderful evening of fun, food, and fellowship. Memories were made and friendships were strengthened. Why don’t we have get-togethers more often?? They are worth the small amount of effort it takes to pull together.
