The crisp fall day started off with a chill but by hayride time, it was just right. We had a great gathering of young and old and all had a great time.
Kids enjoyed basketball and games and a bounce house before the hayride. And after dinner, they didn’t mind swinging and sliding on the playground in the dar.
We had some improvements for the trailer used for the hayride this year. Josh designed a ramp and a rail to make sure that we were all safe getting on and off. And Brian was an excellent driver. But before we left, Pastor Jaden made sure we prayed for safe passage.
It was so neat to travel some back roads near the church and see all the wonderful colors of Fall that God has painted for us.
And then it was time to eat. Hot dogs grilled over an open fire. The kids loved cooking their hot dogs (and later on, s’mores). And then there was quite a few that did massive grilling to make sure everyone had plenty to eat.
After everyone was thoroughly full, we ended the evening in a shadowing cake walk. Amy was great to keep us all oriented to where the numbers where and there were a ton of great desserts for prized. Karen was especially excited when she won the cake she really wanted.
Such a wonderful evening to just enjoy being together and having simple food and simple fun!
