Sunday Afternoon Fellowship

 On Sunday afternoon we hosted another fellowship meal at the picnic grove.  Dad, Mom, Joshua, and Benjamin left a earlier that morning so Benjamin's entertainment was a paper towel roll while he sat safely in the sink!

 Dad and Mom decided to serve rotisserie chicken so we ordered 60 chickens from Sam's Club.  Aunt Jennifer kindly went and picked up the chickens and brought them back to the picnic grove where we had an assembly line going to take the chickens apart.

 Before the meal was served, Dad had everyone join hands in a big circle and we sang a song together before praying.

 To help the line move along a little faster we had servers.  The line came up to the middle of the table and went both ways, the food was the same either way.

 Fellowshipping under the shade tree...

Softball and volleyball are always a hit with the young people!

 



Happy Birthday Joshua!!!

Happy Birthday "little" brother! 

He's not really my little brother anymore, he's taller than I am and still shooting up!

 Grandpoppy and Grandmommy came up a few days before his birthday...

 

He's excited to start using his new dog harness with Sergeant.

 

Happy Birthday bro!



Traveling Zoo

Every summer a free traveling zoo comes to the parking lot of a near-by Mennonite business. 
One morning while I was at work Mom took the children and a few of their Amish friends to see all the animals.

 

 

 Benjamin was enthralled with all the animals!

 

Feeding the emus...

Henry, Linda, Anna, & Barbie enjoyed camel rides for a special treat.
