Torrential Rains Didn't Stop The Fun!

The torrential downpour didn't put a halt to the fun at the 2011 Bethany Adoption Picnic this past Saturday.   Everyone brought their own form of "sunshine" with smiling faces and laughter!  
There was still faces to be painted and balloon animals to make.  Horse and pony rides brought delight to many kids up until the heavy rain.  Crafts and designing your own sweet/favorite cookie...and just maybe that frosting on the cookie made it's way a little more around the mouth than in the mouth. :)
And those hamburgers and hot dogs, probably even tasted better as we all huddled together under one pavilion!.....but really, isn't that what a great picnic is.....hanging out with one another and enjoying all the unexpected things that make it fun! 
God gave us "sunshine" even in the rain!
Below are a few of the images from the day.  To see more images click on: Bethany Adoption Picnic 2011


Who knows how to make doggie balloons?



Rain will not keep us away!



Our brave cooks!


What can I say...but how cute!
