Fellowship

At the end of May, we were invited to our good friends' house down in Franklin. Quite a few families were invited, too, so it was sure to be a wonderful time of fellowship, food, and lots of kiddos.

The boys were super excited because these friends, the McAlisters, have a pool. And if you know anything about the boys, they love being in the water. We had just started swim lessons, so they were still using their floatees, but they still had a grand time with their friends in the water.

Cash cooling off in the water with his goggles, of course.

Their love for their goggles cracks me up. Are they really necessary if you don't go under water? :)

There were lots of kiddos, and there were plenty of babies, too. Shelly hung out with Ann Hadley for awhile while I snapped some pictures. Here they are with Courtney and Nola.

All the dads were in the water with their little guys -- it's always fun to see that test of "trust Daddy."

This is Gabriel. He's B's best buddy at church. He was all smiles playing in the water.

Speaking of all smiles ...

It's amazing he can see anything with that fog...

Ann Hadley met up with Knox, who is about five or so weeks younger. It's fun to see two babies interact, trying to figure each other out.

After a yummy potluck supper, the moms watched the kids and dads play ball in the backyard. Some got back in the pool, some played on the swingset and playhouse, everyone had fun!

Yes, I did say the dads played some ball, too.

And out of nowhere, B picked up Brody's bike, with no training wheels, and tried it out. Heath helped him get started.

And the rest is history. He was ready to take his off, too!

Oh, me! What a fun night! So fun, in fact, that we all decided to make it a monthly summer event. Even the chickens agreed, it was a perfect night of summer fun with our church family.
