The Conclusion to Our Adventures

Thursday was yet another amazing day to be living in the mid-west. We decided to try and out-do ourselves from the previous day by asking friends to join our next outting. The Bakers were a gracious crew and accepted our invitation. We decided to head over to a very large county park that has become a conservation area. It was an amazingly simple day-we weren't being entertained by anything other than what God had created with his own hands (minus the tiny playground area, I think everything else came directly from Him).

I wanted to make sure this picture made it onto the blog, mostly so Amber could copy it over to hers! However, this is a portion of an amazing family-doing their darndest to do what God has called them to do. They are wonderful parents and friends.

Here is ornery Mr. Maeic playing on the aforementioned tiny playground. He thought it was great ,and I appreciate the Baker's willingness to stop and rest here for a bit.

Maeic is naturally attracted to water. I'm not even sure how we were able to keep him out of it, I think it had a lot to do with the fact his father was within arms reach at all times!

As cute as we are in this picture, you can imagine how much better we looked before the walk began. Not hot and tired. Oh, and our purses didn't seem to weigh so much, then, either.

Here are two absolute cutie-pies. One is mine and I want the other one to be mine too. It was so cute to have them both trailing behind the group (until they were super behind and we had to double back to retrieve them). Maeic would find something fascinating and T would be next to him, seeing if she could find what was so mesmerizing. They had a nice time thrusting their beloved sticks into (snake!)holes, just to see what they could see.
