Today was the church picnic. It was a really well-done affair, I thought. There were plenty of activities and games going on, most of which were won by Bob. Bob won the pie-eating contest, the ninja contest, the frisbee golf contest, and I think also the wheelchair race. I was entered into the pie-eating contest, but had some problems getting the pumpkin pie down and grossed a few onlookers out. Alex almost had a breakdown because he made it to the wheelchair race finals, due to help he got during the early heats, but nobody helped him in the finals and he lost. Bob consoled him by giving him the frisbee golf ribbon, which really made everything pretty much all good. Yesterday, Beth was out of town all day at a Beth Moore simulcast down somewhere near Indy, I think, at our old associate minister's church. She and a bunch of her friends went, and I told the kids we could get dinner anywhere they wanted. What did they choose? KFC. Oh well. After dinner was a birthday party for Katie (4), which we went to but were late to because we incorrectly assumed it would be at the Horbett's, because Beth told us so. It was at the McCoy's. The kids played on the trampoline most of the evening and got pony rides.
