Water Days

Last year our pastor's wife Angela organized activities to help the moms get together while allowing the children to have some fun. She has kindly done the same this year. Sometimes it's $1.00 movies or a day at the park.

Today it was a water-filled day at our church's playground. We are very fortunate to have a large playground on the grounds of our church, far from the main road. Several slip and slides, pools and sprinklers were set up and the kids got to have a blast. We had a great turn out with over 20 kids running around and getting soaking wet. The moms got a chance to talk to each other while the kids ran wild. This was really appreciated by David who had 2 long hours of math summer school before the party started. Many of us stayed and had lunch together, while the kids played even more.
Ahh, the simple pleasures of life!

Kim, I as sit here wrapped up in my sweater and look out the window at the mass of shades of gray clouds your hot weather fun looks inviting. We had a day of summer last Sunday -- we enjoyed every minute of it.
You are exactly right about what you say -- women can learn from each other no matter what their ages. And I don't believe you are over-thinking the issue. Ha, if you are then you and I have that in common -- I analyze stuff to shreds.
I think that is why blogging is so popular -- we women are eager to learn from one another.

Today we finally have a break in the heat. The last few days have been extremely hot!
I think your right about blogging and learning from others.
