It's hard to believe after the week of rain we've just had, but the weather on the long weekend was perfect for our Family Softball Game and Barbeque!!
First we hit the park for some family fun on the ball diamond. It turns out the shale was newly redone - so after the kids had fun kicking up some dust, we decided to move over to the grass to save the mama's sanity & washing machines. The game was short-lived, and not really much of a game - but the kids had fun, and that's all that really matters!
Once the park on the other side of the fence was spotted there was no turning back...
So we packed it in and hit the playground for some more fun. The dads chased the kids, while the moms enjoyed some uninterrupted time to chat. We all marveled at how nice it was to play at the park when dad is around to do the chasing!
We then returned to Jill's house to have a visit with the 4 week old puppies. Oh what a hit! They are just so cute there are no words!!
After the puppies retired for the evening, it was time to eat! So we hit the backyard for some hotdogs, hamburgers, salads & deserts! It felt so nice to eat supper from a paper plate with my toes in the grass - it's about time!! Check out the
message board for our desert recipes (yum!) - and don't forget the
momstown meals blog for lots more great summer recipes.
The kids had tons of fun running around, and reaking havoc on Jill's basement. But we didn't mind - because we were sitting in the sun, and it was her house ;)
We had so much fun that we've decided to do this once a month through the summer months. Join us in June for a
Father's Day Picnic! You can assure your husband that there will in fact be other dad's there - it's Father's Day afterall!
