Fun at the Park

This morning we also had our Mosaic first large group gathering of the 2006-2007 school year. Since I am now serving on the student leadership team for Mosaic, I planned and coordinated the event. And...it went really well!


We had lunch together at Magnuson Park in the University district. Our shelter was right next to the children's play area which was a great bonus. Mike served at the "Grill Master" and everyone brought a passing dish (which I guess is a Midwest term, but people here figured it out). We had about 37 people show up which was a mixture of staff, returning students and new students along with their spouses and children. It was a great chance to welcome some of the new families and reconnect with friends.

Samuel loved playing in the sandbox and on the swings. His friends, Roxy, Pierce and Matia were all there to play along with some new friends too. He wore himself out pretty well and is currently sound asleep attempting to recover.

Hopefully our Mosaic events will continue to go as well as today did. Keep your fingers crossed!

Blackberries

One of the nice things about having a nature preserve in our backyard is the blackberry bushes. This morning, Mike went out to pick some blackberries for breakfast. Samuel was very interested in the new treat so we decided to let him try it. As you can see, we were at least smart enough to undress him first! He loved them. Of course, they made a horrible mess, but he had a great time and we know now he likes yet another fruit! Too say the least, he went straight into the tub!
