Our “young marrieds” bible study group broke for summer a couple of months ago and with crazy summer schedules I felt like we’d hardly seen anyone so we planned a BBQ at the lake and all met at one of the bays after people got off work. We had most of our people show up so we had a big group and we all had so much fun! Almost everyone went swimming and the kids had fun digging in the sand, although after Florida this feels more like tiny rocks than sand! :)
Ironically, though Peanut adamantly refuses to wear her own lifejacket, she was happy to wear her sister’s (backwards) around when K left it on the shoreline.
There weren’t many people at the lake so we got a big stretch of “beach” all to ourselves. You can see the reason why there weren’t many people there. We have had a horrible string of fires in the PNW and the smoke was very thick.
The constant smoke for nearly a week was a good reminder to pray for the towns affected, and all the firefighters. There were MANY houses, buildings, churches, and businesses that were lost. So sad. :(
Despite the smoke that day we were able to enjoy ourselves and have a great time.
After an hour of swimming we ate our potluck BBQ. Yum!
I love that our group has so many kids in it! They all have a great time!
Here’s Peanut with her little friend who is only a few months older than her. They are both 3rd children and have the EXACT same Mommy-they’re-taking-my-things-and-not-doing-what-I-want-them-to-do little sister cry/yell. So funny.
At least they’ve got each other. Which is pretty much the unwritten motto of our group. We joke that it is our parenting/marriage support group. Yes, we study the bible and learn, but I think the main thing most of us get out of it is that we’re not alone and our friends are all going through the same struggles and issues in parenting and marriage that we are. Yep, “at least we’ve got each other”. Maybe I’ll get some t-shirts printed up. Haha :)
