Fun Filled Weekend

Another post from substitute bloggers Lillia and Daddy.

On Saturday evening we enjoyed a nice picnic with our church family hosted by the Fogelsanger's. Afterward we dropped Kaitlyn off at Grandpa's.
Sorry no pictures.


On Sunday we went to church at the Bahners It took us 3 hours 20 minutes to drive out there. Just as we were exiting the PA Turnpike we saw Grandpa, Grammy, Kaitlyn, Zoe, and Abigail on their way to Still Waters.
The Mellama's joined us for service at 11am. We sang a few songs and Hope and Chantel played specials on the piano. Hope played "Amazing Grace" and Chantel played "There Is A Fountain Filled With Blood". Bro Nathan read Nehemiah 6 "Oh God, strengthen my hands."  Then we enjoyed listening to the message "From That Time". Afterward we enjoyed fine food and fellowship.

I think we will take them up the road to the south pasture.




This is what Bro. Branham would have called a backslidden bicycle!

An Outing At The Park!

This morning Rachel called and asked if we wanted to meet her and Jude at the local park.  Daddy said we could go and those who were willing, could ride their bikes!  Lillia, Joshua, Kaitlyn, and Daddy, who pulled David in the bike cart, decided to ride.

David was excited about going!

Mr. Speedy!

On the way we saw a mare workhorse and her foal. 
It was very cute!


Once we arrived at the park, we realized that it is an Amish holiday!  (Pentacost Monday) 

ALL the buggies!

ALL the horses!


So we went to a different park where there
wasn't any other people!

Simone, Isaac, & Amariah joined us at the park!
