Maymont Picnic Of Sorts
Yesterday our family and a few families from our Community Group we attend ventured out to Maymont Park for a picnic of sorts to socialize and catch up on life. When we first arrived it was only Mr W,his daughter Chelsea,Mr D and us. Therefore,not wanting my delicious Arby's chicken,bacon,swiss sandwich and fries to get cold began to consume my food as well as everyone else theirs. Soon after eating our food,the W's and the B's came along,so we moved our swaray out onto the grass area near a nice shady tree. Then the two families who hadn't eaten,ate and those of us who had,basked in the glow of the wonderful sun. After thirty minutes or so,Chelsea,Natalia,Mariana,Amy and I went over to a grove of trees and commenced to attempt to climb the trees. I preferedly,stayed on the ground,except for sitting on a rawther low tree branch on one occasion. More than once Amy,Chelsea and I had to rescue Natalia. She kept getting stuck in trees and not being able to get back down. Interestingly enough,Chelsea was the best tree climber out of the five of us. We soon got tired with our escapade and asked the adults if we all could go check out the gardens on the lower surrounding hill-like landscape. It was quite a feat keeping up with two active little girls on the way down. On the way up on the other hand is a different story. Mariana on the way back up the hill kept laughing with grand vigor over things being said and done. Thus collapsing on the ground laughing so hard to the point of loosing her breathe and then crying. It was quite an interesting sight to behold. Most surprising was Natalia being exasperated from the heat declaring "I am so dehydrated,I need water" but once we got to an area of drinkable water she declared it unfit. The thing that made it surprising is that,that is what I was like a few years ago. I could only shake my head and laugh. When we did get back to the picnic area Natalia got rehydrated and we all relaxed and laughed a lot about the whole thing. Melissa,Nikki and Mr.J showed up a little while later,so we talked a hanged a little while longer. Soon it was rawther late in the afternoon and I needed to read God's Big Picture for Teen Community Group so we started homeward.
