Picnics and All That Good Stuff

Last week we had some family come over for a picnic. The kids enjoyed my new garage sale find. This Little Tykes picnic table was $10 at a garage sale, in perfect shape! I was going to give it away, but we decided to keep it. It's the perfect size for the little ones. Sometimes you can hit it big at garage sales.
Anyway, we have had a great time with Ben's East Coast family. And the kids always enjoy the cousins, of course.
The week ended on Saturday with a call for Ben and I to meet a counselor in the Stake Presidency before church on Sunday. I had that sinking feeling, and realized that the "big calling" I had felt coming on was Ben's, not mine. Sure enough, he was sustained as a counselor in our bishopric on Sunday. So far it hasn't been too bad, only two nights this week he's been gone. That's not much different than usual.
Here's some pictures of the fun we had this week. We went to Lake Elmo today and got good and dirty, but our camera is broken and Haley's wasn't charged. I'll try to do better!

It's been a fun week. Hope next week is just as good!
