Family Picnic

                         

Old quilts spread on the ground...






All integrated and enjoying the difference. ..Little people, middlers and big people all mixed together and being understood....

A spoon duel between a daddy and his baby girl and so much laughter.... Precious.....


Good conversation....


Serving one another....


A mom playing "anything ball" with her girls.... The object was to get the volleyball to someone in whatever fashion worked.   Expressions of  aagghh... good try... ouch...oh, get it....and lots of laughter...

Just plain fun...enjoying each other....


A baby girl wearing a sunhat..





Eating boxed donuts and mini chocolate bars for dessert.....no time to bake a cake....


Listening to the birds sing....


Walking through the grass....


Spotting a tiny hummingbird nest in a tree...



                          



A man-to-man talk between a father and son-in-law as they throw the football....


Warm embraces shared by all....


Enjoying the warm sun on our faces...


Working together to pack everything back in the van.....



Family
                                                                            

Sacred....

Uncommon....

Consecrated....

Dedicated....

Devoted....

Entitled to reverence....
