Gathering

Our friends are fun. Can't you tell?

We gathered at our lake house this past weekend. And we broke it in with 16 kids, the oldest of whom is 8 years old. The Gathering Place lived up to its name, even if the sunshine and warm weather I invited to come out to play didn't show up.

There was fishing. Ben always wants to pet the fish.

There was sitting with friends.

There was rocking throwing.

There was a miscommunication about the names on the cake.

There was some {mostly} boy-girl segregation.

And there will be more gathering here, hopefully sooner rather than later. I came home with a full heart and a list of how to make The Gathering Place an even better place to gather.
