Summer Fun

Lindsay, Barney, and I went to the MOMS Club family picnic/BBQ yesterday. It was a lot of fun, but I’ve decided we should have done it today instead, because the weather was so much better! We endured the wind and sprinkling, hudling in the picnic shelter while a brave few barbequed our food for us all in the rain. What can I say, we’re Northwesterners to the core. It was cool to be able to meet all of the husbands that we hear so much about but never get to see, even though they were all fairly non-social types, and just stood around behind their wives, staring into space. ;)
The kids had fun taking turns trying to bust open a pinata filled with fruit snacks and little trinkets. Lindsay found this event to be utterly hysterical. Each time a little boy walked up to the pinata with his little whiffle bat and swung with all his might, Lindsay burst into hysterics. Not just giggling, but full on guffawing ’til she lost her breath. It probably didn’t help that I was whispering “kill it, kill it” into her ear each time they took a swing. I don’t think she understands that yet, but man, she thought it was pretty funny!

    Oh, I caught a glimpse of the belly laugh once. But I am anxious to see/hear the real thing.

    And yes, being a true Northwesterner, you can’t let the weather dictate what you do. Glad you had a good time.

    Cute pic of Lindsay with her socks!

    Sounds like you all had a great time. I can image the whole pinata scene, and I would have been laughing right beside you two silly girls!
