Church Picnic!

Last Saturday was our church's 25th annual fall picnic, so in honor of our anniversary (NO I was not there 25 years ago!!) We played and did fun stuff that we did when the picnic first started! I really enjoyed it and I'm sure that everybody else did too!

We had a sack race for kids and adults! I really enjoyed seeing alot of my relatives jumping around in feed sacks!! :) We had a turtle race which usually lasts for a few minutes. My mom and older cousin and I did a face painting booth! That was alot of fun though, I think mom can paint a better face than I can!!!! The water balloon toss was one of my favorites but...it was VERY nerve-racking!! We even had a cross-cut saw competition which was very neat to watch! I believe the most fast pair was our pastor and a man that goes to our church, if I am remembering correctly their time to saw through a log about 5-6" was 21 seconds! Now if any of you haven't ever done cross-cut saw and are saying to yourselves: "Oh, that's not too hard!!" YOU ARE WRONG!! I myself have tried it many times and it is not the easiest thing in the world!! But it was alot of fun anyways!
After all the competitions, we all gathered in the sanctuary to watch Mike Bliss, a magician from Branson. I believe that was the most awesome thing of the whole evening!! He truly is a very talented magician! He always ends his acts by sharing how to get saved. I really really enjoyed watching him!
After watching him, we all had supper in the Fellowship Hall. And after that? I WAS TIRED!!! And I know LOTS of others that shared my feelings!! And now that it is over...I am TOTALLY excited for next years!!

The regular is around 70, I think. But sometimes on hollidays or special occations it will reach near 100! Like I said I'm not sure. :)
