Playground, Grill, & Camping

Wow what a beautiful weekend. We tried out the new Project Playground at the zoo yesterday after church and WOW is the perfect word to describe it. Lots for the boys to do and I could see them well from just about any vantage point no matter where they went (something the old playground lacked). They had a ball and it looks as though on Sunday's this summer we'll be regulars there after church with a picnic lunch.

Once we got home, got the grill out and cleaned up and tried out my new charcoal chimney (one match lights the newspaper and no need for lighter fluid). Worked great so we enjoyed the first burgers/dogs outside on the deck last night as well. Of course this was after the boys spent most of the afternoon digging in the dirt under the deck looking for buried treasure. Man were they dirty! Oh well. Bath before supper and they ate their dogs and followed up with a few roasted marshmallows over the remnant coals. What a beautiful weekend God blessed us with!

Now we're in gear up mode for our annual Dads & Kids camping trip (our 4th annual) which should see us break through the 100 attendees mark easily. We'll be at a new site to accommodate the big group. Hopefully God again blesses us with nice weather.
