Annual Church Picnic

Towards the beginning of each Sunday school year, our church has an annual church picnic. It's a day for good food, fellowship, and fun! This was the first year that Benjamin was old enough to stay up for all of the festivities and boy did he have some fun! After enjoying some good food via church potluck, games for the kids are set up outside and the competition begins. It's always a race (mostly by the older kids) to see who can play the most games and earn the most tickets first. The more tickets you earn, the more stuff you can "buy" with your tickets. Last year, Benjamin earned a total of one ticket. This year, he did slightly better by earning 29 tickets. He turned those tickets in for a new foam football and a new toy truck. It was so much fun watching him get into participating and interacting with the kids! He had a blast! After the kids are done with the ticket earning, attention usually turns to a friendly game of kickball (Adults vs. kids). Benjamin got to kick a couple of times and his friend Lucas helped him run the bases. He did a great job! I tried to get a couple of pictures of him kicking, but they all ended up blurry. Maybe next year.

The day was jam packed full of fun. But eventually all the fun took its toll. Here's where we found Benjamin a little while after we got home. Everyone has their limits.
