Evening with the Knapps

We met some good friends at a park in Normal this evening for some food and fellowship.  It’s always a great time of fun and encouragement, but as always the time passes to quickly.

They brought a really fun game I’ve never heard of before.  It’s a version of Dutch Blitz you play in the yard (or a very large room).  There are large laminated cards and the children run them out to the center.  Only one card is allowed to be carried at a time, but the team mates can both be going at the same time, one after the other.  It was a lot of fun!

 

 

 

Javan, Jared, and Seth wrestling a bit.

Then a few Tugs of War…

They enjoyed watching skateboarders and bikers on the ramps for awhile.  I didn’t get to watch because I was feeding Johanna, but Lexi took some pictures for me.  Thanks Lexi! :)

The boys got tired of having their pictures taken…

So they started acting like they were texting whenever the camera pointed their way!

Joshua wrestling with Jonas ~ Can you tell who is used to wrestling?

 

I still didn’t get a picture of all the little 3 year olds together!  Joshua and Caleb are twins and only a week or two younger than Jonas.

Here is a picture of them sitting with their Dad.

I never got a picture of everyone together.  Our friends names are Matt and Dana and their children are Lexi, Seth, Megan, Micah, Joshua, and Caleb.

I am so thankful for good friends.  There is something about being able to be real, honest, and open with each other!  The biggest blessing is that our bond is founded in Jesus Christ and that is where our fellowship is centered, it doesn’t get any better than that!

Mom ~ Did you notice we were using my new blanket!  Thanks!  I really like it, it is quite useful!  Love You!

 

O.K.!  Time for some quiet time with my Lord and then to bed.  A BIG day tomorrow.  Family reunion at noon in Morton and company in the evening.  7 families (including us) 72 people (including babies).  Will try to take lots of pictures and hope to get around to blogging it before sooo much time is past that I never get it blogged!  Time will tell.  Good night! 

P.S. I was having trouble uploading my blog on Friday night so I had to edit some pictures and hopefully it will upload now ~ Monday AM!
