Bethel Ranch Annual BBQ

August finished up with our annual BBQ at the Bethel Ranch ministry.  Below brother John is opening the meal with an exhortation from the Word...

Kiddos enjoying the greenery...

Brother Ed manning the grill...

Little ones always bring smiles and comments from the men...

Enjoying his Bingo game...

More players...

 

A healthy prize...

What was sweeter, the prize or the hug from a sweet little girl?

 

 

Thanks, everyone, for another enjoyable BBQ!  And for building deeper relationships that promote trust.

An August Park Play Date

Three friends, now three homeschool families... it used to be easier to get together when there were fewer... but now it's more fun!

We met at a park 1/2 way between our locations... here's Stace and some of her crew...

Michael too!

Asher & Hannah, what are you two up to?

Swinging friends...

Giggle time!

Is that tireless swinging or tire-full?

Great park for bikes!  Judah with brother Isaiah behind, struggling to keep up with training wheels (lately Judah's attempting to teach him the 2-wheel balance skill).

Silas and his wheels...

 

A Wedding in August

In August we attended our last wedding of the summer.  Here we are with the bride, Sheena, a former employee, all smiles on her special day...

Still very happily married...

I don't know if I've ever been surrounded by that many pharmacists at a time!  Below is Duane's very sweet and capable staff pharmacist Judy with her boyfriend Alex...

Dear friends, Slava & Inna...

Outside by the fountains...

Now with family members included...
