Holt Picnic

It ended up being not as hot for the picnic as I thought it would be (like last year).  Thank goodness there was a breeze (more like a wind, though).  The kids and I left at 10:30 and because this event is close to our home, we like to try to go and be there early.  Last year and this year there really wasn't that many people there like the first couple of years we went.  Tony came later after his sales meeting.  It was good to see other families we know who have adopted from China, Korea and even Ethiopia!  Meighan got her face painted for the first time.  She enjoyed running between the bounce house and the swings.  We hardly saw her!  It was kind of nice to be able to just let her run as she pleased.  She definitely needed (and took) a nap when we got home!  Dawson didn't even make it a mile and he was out LONG before we got home (and we don't live that far away!).

I had instructions from one of the families that was in our parenting class to take pictures and put them on the blog, so here are the best ones:

One guy said, "He's sitting like a king!" and I said, "In a princess chair!"

She wanted to be a TIGER!
