Happy Saturday- Part One

Today was the annual Legacy Christian Homeschool Kick-off Picnic.  We were blessed to have the opportunity to enjoy the BP recreation area out in Huger, SC.  Tom thought it would be cool to dress the boys all alike...

Colin & Tom enjoying some lemonade.


It was a great day, but HUMID!! Phew, was it warm and humid out.  We had two very brief rain showers, but that only added to the already thick air.  We all had to remember just how delightful Charleston is in December........

We enjoyed jump castles, bean bag toss, volleyball, fishing net throwing, and lots of other "outdoor" things.

Here is our family shot. Little "grumpy" there was in a particularly bad mood at the time since he was taken away from the fun by Dad for throwing a whole glass of lemonade on his big brother.....

Here is Colin with sweet Katie.  I think he enjoys playing with Katie and her sister, both adopted from China also.


 Of course, it wouldn't be a proper homeschool event without an 
impromptu science lesson.......

 This "native" of the area joined the party and the kids swarmed around to 
learn about this snake.  My boys were particularly interested in touching it.




All in all, we had a great time visiting with friends and eating lots of good picnic food.  Looking forward to another year of getting to know some of these families even better.  Many thanks to the families who organized such a fun afternoon for our family.

Looks like fun, even the snake part since it was not a poison snake!
