Ohio Guat Picnic was TODAY!

Let me just say...we have some amazing families and some very, very beautiful children here in Ohio:-) The rain held off and we had an incredible time today at the picnic. Truly...it was just an amazing day. All the families, all the children, all the laughter. This is what it is ALL about. We had over 16 familes at the picnic and so many beautiful children. Seeing them all playing together and laughing together was so awesome! Thank you to everyone who came, who brought food, who braved the humidity to be a part of this awesome day! We have all become so close in the past few months and today it was great that we could all get together like this! I am already looking forward to our next event...yes of course I am already thinking of it. And I am for sure looking forward to next year!

I am going to post a few times to get a lot of pictures on here and others that attended...please add yours too if you want!

We had so much fun today...I have to ask, who made the little brownie cakes? That is what they tasted like atleast...They were awesome I want the recipe....I am going to have to have Mindy resize some of my pictures and post them for me. It was so incredible to look around and see all of the children having so much fun....

What a great picnic! We had a wonderful time. Ava was saying "more more more fun" for at least a half an hour in the van when we left.

Thanks Mindy for organizing such a great event. It is so wonderful to see all the beautiful children and their beautiful families.

We look foward to more events.

Lisa

Mindy:

You were very busy with everything...I can make copies if you would like me to.

Question: Why are some pictures coming up as attached thumbnails?

BTW: I think your pictures turned out awesome!!!

I have NO idea about the thumbnail thing. Mine have done that at times. I just truly don't have a clue! I would LOVE to have your pics. That would be awesome! I want to make a photo album of today!
