Little Toady

September 14 - Today Meg, Krista and I took our kiddos to George Wyth to let them play. We packed lunches and let them go to town on the playground equipment. I even found a little toad by the drinking fountain. The kids LOVED it! We had fun letting him go... "Bye Toad!" :O)

The kids LOVED looking at the little toad we found, especially Kate! I think she wanted to take him home with her!

We occasionally go to a park out in the country a little ways and Jaren LOVES visiting the horsies before we leave!

August 29 & 30 - Family Reunion in Clinton

The last weekend in August is always our "Ewing/Thompson Family Reunion" on my grandmother's side. We meet up for a potluck lunch at Eagle Point Park and chat for several hours. I've enjoyed going the last few years with my own little family.

A view we've seen many times over the years! Driving into Clinton. We knew we were close to Grandma and Grandpa's house!
