Derek has been asking to go back to the "red plane park" recently and we thought it would be fun to have a family picnic! So off to Aviator Park we went and invited the cousins to come hang out too. I made hot dog and cheese kabobs for dinner with strawberry-blueberry-marshmallow kabobs for dessert, Austin and Liz brought pizza and Jon and Jenna brought broccoli and cookies. Yum! The kids had a blast playing on the playground and going down the hill into a wooded swampy area to play. We brought Andi with us to stretch her legs and play with Liz's kids since we've been watching her for a few weeks while Liz's family was in town. Isaac was happy to cuddle her and walk her around the playground for a bit before the mini forest began calling his name, haha! The kids climbed on fallen trees and played with stick swords to their hearts content. As we were all packing up to go, Austin suggested that they should probably take Andi home, since their family had been gone for over a week, and I suggested that we could keep her (then ducked my head in the car to buckle kids in, haha). Liz chimed in supportively and Austin, rather taken aback I think, agreed. We are thrilled to be able to keep Andi and are very grateful that Austin and Liz are happy with the arrangement. Today is our official "Gotcha" day and we're so excited!
Bryce and Clara got to ride the historic red airplane, haha
Isaac loved walking Andi around
Derek and Clara loved the hotdog and cheese kabobs
We didn't know it yet, but this was Gotcha Day!
Bama tried to coax Oakley to sit with her using a creme stack (buttercream-sugar cookie sandwich) as a bribe, haha! It worked for a little bit.
Oakley loves Bama's creme stacks!
Liz and Andrew!
Isaac and Derek are great friends!
I think Isaac missed Andi
Pirate Katelyn!
We;re following the leader, the leader, the leader - we're following the leader wherever he may go!
Derek is so silly
Nathan grabbed the first stick
Emeri hadn't even finished her dessert kabob before she was down playing in the dirt with everyone - she doesn't like being left behind, haha!
Gracie brought her stuffed wolf puppy for protection
Bryce was just happy to have a stick :)
