Tonight we had our first church picnic of the summer. It was a great night to be out and there was a great turnout. As usual, the food was bountiful and delicious and the fellowship was sweet. I had a chance to connect with some people I haven't been able to talk to for awhile and to get acquainted with some new people that have just recently started attending our church. I was really glad that Mari-Liis was able to go and enjoy herself so much because in two days she will be leaving us. I won't think about that tonight.
At the picnic, I learned about a new game (at least, it is new to me). It is called Ladder Golf. Rachel says she has played it before. It looks like a lot of fun! I didn't play tonight, just watched. Has anyone else ever played this game? I'm thinking I will have to make or buy one of these before the 4th of July. We are planning on having a picnic with our friends at our house.
