Goddard Park Picnic - Saturday July 23

On Saturday, we started the day at Goddard Park...with a picnic and games for all!

Here we see pastor Steve with his mom, Fanny Crino. For those of you who remember going to her house to watch movies after services...it was great to see her!

We played lots of games..the kids especially liked the wiffle ball! Here we see Julie Sandin, some of her nephews, her sister-in-law Susan Sandin (David Sandin's wife) and pastor Steve's kids getting ready to bat...

And here is the other team watching someone hit...or are they shouting to pastor Steve not to eat the chex mix because it has nuts in it?

Here we have Cole (Martinez) Fooks swinging for the fences...only if there were fences...

...this is Lorna (Sandin) Grafe's daughter Megan, just taking it all in and chillin' on a very WARM day...

...this is Ben Chadwick and his wife Courtney and their beautiful one year old daughter Braelee...for some reason Ben was staying in the shade (for those of you that remember how much he likes the sun?)

And here we see David Sandin's oldest daughter...a real soccer player!...

...What's that Lorna Grafe (Sandin) is asking? All we brought for luch is tuna salad sandwiches?...sorry pastor Steve!

...and here we have the lovely Holly Spicer! Just relaxing and looking at the pictures from the beach and cookout...

...Julie Sandin put together a great picnic lunch! Alan Grafe (Lorna Sandin's husband) doesn't know where to start...

...and then who should walk up...Brenda Keefe! She was just riding by, and noticed us in the field. Here she and Theresa Crino are catching up on stuff...

...come on Dave Dieterly...just pick a sandwich already...Aaron can't be saying something that interesting!

...and here we have the proud aunt Jessica Davenport with her nephew Luke Chapralis...use the force Luke!

...Neil, Luke, Libby (Davenport) Chapralis with Jessica Davenport. All stopped in for lunch and to enjoy the afternoon...

After lunch we all just relaxed in any shade we could find...here is Mrs. (Kathy) Davenport in a discussion over the meaning of life with Mary Gribbin...or just talking about the kids!

...And finally just posing for some pictures...Julie Sandin, Chris Fooks, Brent Fooks, Susan Sandin and her youngest daughter, oh almost forgot that can of Sprite!
