The Unofficial Chuch Picnic

It all came about during the opening Sunday School exercises led by Terry Jensen. He mentioned that (wife) Barb's birthday was coming up the following Sunday and hey, would everyone like to come out to their house for a picnic?

Of course, Loren knows that if he ever tried this it would be tantamount to signing his death warrant, but Barb is just a super good sport and that is how most of the church headed out to the Jensen Country Estate after morning church.

I was drawn to this windmill, which makes a delicious and gentle creaking noise in the breeze.
New technology does a fly-over of the old.

Hordes of small children attack the swing set

Game of bean bag toss


Pastor John listens, protected by his very cool hat.


The golf cart was a popular item for those 14 and under, and best of all, no one was hurt. (though I was told Nolan barely stopped in time while driving...)

Sleepy kitty. This is in no way a reference to anyone's sermons.


Oh look! Ma finds someone else with impeccable tank taste :-)
The plump one on the left is me...the pretty one on the right is Kristin Helmke. And in case you've noticed that the background is similar to that used by NBC when they are covering the president in Crawford, Texas, you are right...it DOES look quite akin.

Ma's and Kris's autographs will be available for a nominal fee.

A sunny hot day. Nolan could almost see his food in that hat....


Elderberry flower, sightly pumped up with saturation from Picasa.


An excellent time had by all. I especially appreciated the fact that it was at someone else's house.
