Creekside Cottage: An Afternoon At The Creek

Sunday was really hot...everyone from church was going to meet at a local park - but I seriously considered not going - wanting to spend the afternoon quietly at home in the a/c.

I decided we would go, knowing we could leave if it was horrible out. It wasn't...the humidity was low and with all the trees and the pavilion and the creek....it was perfect.

Lindsay took all these photos and I liked this one of my shadow...you can see the sun streaming through the weave of my straw hat!

It was really beautiful - the kids were in the whole afternoon!

Jonathan tried fishing, but I think all of the people in the creek limited his opportunity to catch fish...

Here are my cute painted piggies enjoying the cool creek....I found a nice big rock and sat for a while watching the kids...

The kids had such a good time...

New friends chatting away...

Doesn't it make you feel cooler just looking at the photos?

We have a great bunch of kids in our church....

These little men are all brothers, a set of twins and an older and younger brother...

This girlie is sweet and full of life and drama...much like our Sarah!

Bonnie and Asher...he is such cute little man...

This is his big sister....

I want to go back to this park soon! I can't wait to take Tim....

So, I'm thankful for the A.C. when I HAVE to be home. But lets start choosing HIS A.C. when we don't!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures and making me think...

Enjoy and cherish each moment!
Joy!
