Picnic in the Garage

Dan was out of town with a couple fellowship interviews this week. In anticipation, Ace offered to come help me, and boy am I thankful! While here, we've tried to get to Duke Gardens while all the azaleas and tulips are in bloom, to no avail.

Plan A- we planned to meet Dan Thursday night after picking up Cook Out for a picnic in the Gardens. Long story, but we couldn't get out of the garage because Jack's speech teacher's car broke down.  The tow truck made the change of plans worth it for the boys!

Plan B- tonight we tried again, got Cook Out, and then it started thunder storming.

Plan C- picnic in the garage while watching the thunderstorm.



















Jack did not like the thunder, though he seems happy about it here. He's been clapping his hands over his ears for any loud noise lately.

Calvin has Luke laughing when he was imitating the thunder. Love to hear hardy laughter from the guys! 

We'll try Plan D one last time tomorrow morning....hopefully it will work out. 

We've had other adventures that have already worked out. The fountain, the neighborhood park, and playing on the driveway never fail to deliver =)!
