Our neighborhood had a picnic the other day. We don't do a lot of things with our neighbors. Sadly, 'life' gets in the way. Since most of our neighbors (within shouting distance) are Empty Nesters, we just don't have a lot in common. They are all nice though and we do like speaking with them when we get the chance. So we jumped at the chance to go to this picnic and connect with some of the neighbors. I didn't get many pictures, as my camera batteries ran out. I did get a few.
Ansley and Judson spent 90% of their time in this. (sun beating down and all)
Turner fell out on the concrete, hitting his head. He was done.
They had a water balloon toss. That's Judson's new buddy. He was visiting his grandparents and hopes to visit J again next time he is in town.
This is where Sawyer and Turner spent the better part of the night.
Right in front of the band, jamming.
You could not have made Sawyer any happier than to just sit (and sometimes dance) while listening to the band play. He LOVED it!
Most of the neighbors didn't even know we had adopted Turner. Most were very supportive. Of course, you get the awkward, "You guys are doing such a wonderful thing" type comments. That one always makes me feel weird. You want to say, "we didn't do anything for these kids that they haven't given back to us 10-fold" Alas, sometimes people just don't know what to say. Speaking of people saying weird things, remind me to tell you about my trip to Walmart sometime. Maybe a soapbox post.
