Potluck and Movie at Bakery

+JMJ+

A little over a week ago, my family was invited to come to the bakery owned by family friends, for a potluck and a viewing of the movie "Paul, Apostle of Christ" along with a bunch of others from our Church. The bakery was already closed of course.

We took two cars. My brother's truck went dead on the road.

My dad had to jumper it. Then we drove back to our house and got a car that wasn't going to die right away.

 

 

Isn't my brother and sister's Goddaughter adorable.

Baby Pie looks guiltily at me after I startled her. She had stolen my water cup and used it. She stole my ice cream later too. :D

The brewery across the street was hosting a wedding reception. We were entertained by their fireworks.

I just want to see the floating lanterns gleam!

After the fire works we did see some floating lanterns in the sky. You can't see them very well in the picture though.

JMJm and Fairs

+JMJ+

The second week of July was a busy week for me.

All week I helped out at JMJm at a local Catholic Church.

I had three twelve year old girls to look after. The easiest team I've ever had in the five years I've helped out.

Halfway through the week I was asked by my aunt to help her chaperone two cousins and three siblings to a fair.

As you can see I spend my time taking pictures of weird birds.

The group!

Poodle Lama!

Doesn't it look like a poodle?

Rides finally opened.

The boys went on this thing three times.

At least they didn't get sick.

Waiting in line for the tilt-a-whirl.

This one looked really scary. They didn't go on it.

The cars went all the way around the circle.

This thing was just as creepy.

Finally they could get on the Tilt-A-Whirl.

Horrible!

I found a pro-life table hidden away in a little corner.

Slushie break!

 

More rides!

Last day of JMJm. Skit and Ice Cream day.

My team's skit. The girls had to act out the Beattitude

Blessed are those who are Poor in Spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

Longing for Ice Cream!

Guess What?

Saturday after JMJm ended I went to another fair. :D But this time I was going to meet up with some friends.

Look a fluffy chicken.

This chicken was about 2 feet tall.

Weird feathers.

Don't you like the poofs on their heads?

 

This bunny was huge.

This bunny had a scrunched face.

Doesn't this one have adorable eyes?

This one had a goblin king beard!

Wouldn't you agree?

This bunny was super long.

Oh of course I forgot to take pictures of people until the end.
