As the Ball Bounces

After Mass, we packed up the car with water guns, beach towels, folding chairs, a soccer ball, baseball gear and headed off to the park for a barbeque and picnic with friends.

This particular park had a water play area, and an enormous sand box, as well as the usual jungle gym and swing set. The kids loved it!

We had cheeseburgers, watermelon, wine and conversation while the children played. Parents and children got together for a water balloon game and, later, some of us including myself played volleyball.

After a wonderful time, we headed home thoroughly tired but happy.
