for supper and fellowship.
They were grilling ribs, shrimp, corn,
and had potato salad and "doubled" eggs
(as our lil' girls call them)...
Who could pass that up? ;o)
Before we left, Ally baked a cake
for her friend's upcoming birthday
and we took it with us for eating. ;o)
During the drive there,
we all noticed how beautiful the sky was
and Ally took a few photos...
We can never look at the sky
without thinking of and talking about
God's marvelous handiwork!
" The heavens declare the glory of God;
and the firmament sheweth his handywork."
~ Psalm 19:1
The children didn't hesitate to start having fun
once we arrived at our friend's home.
What a blessing it is to have friends
that are like family, too. ;o)
The fellowship was wonderful!
And the food was delicious!
Ally was not ashamed that she was able to eat
4 whole ears of corn! Mmmm...
She, also, had fun decorating the cake with her friends.
As dusk approached, they enjoyed playing outdoors more.
Ally was able to ride a bike for a little while
and she played with the flying disc, too,
until they got it stuck in a tree...
The little ones, also, enjoyed playing...
The mamas joined them, too, and we had lots of fun. ;o)
We had a sweet time of fun, food, and fellowship.
I hope y'all enjoyed your Labor Day!

Oh, sounds like a wonderful day, and the food doesn't sound too bad either, lol. We were admiring the beautiful skies down here on that day too. They really were gorgeous!
I love your girl's name "doubled" eggs. I don't like the name of these delicious eggs so maybe I could just adopt the name your girl's have for them! :)
You have a really nice blog, I am so glad I stopped by and entered the contest, it gave me a chance to see your blog....The dress that the older girl is wearing(sunflowers) is quite beautiful, is it a pattern or did you find this cute dress at a store.... I have a 11 year old and finding modest dresses is a lil hard, and I dont mind shopping goodwill so I have been blessed there so far.
Christie ~ It was a wonderful day and great food. The sky was beautiful. I'm sure it was from where y'all were, too. ;o)
Karen ~ My girls have always called them 'doubled' eggs. I don't like the common name for them either so we have adopted the girls' name, too. Please feel free... it's not copyrighted or anything. ;o) lol
Tumbleweeds ~ Thank you for visiting me! We have a very difficult time finding modest dresses for my daughter and I, too. We have mostly given up on shopping for them so we make them. I posted the pattern for this dress HERE.
She has adjusted it to her liking and we love this pattern! Hope that helps. ;o)
