On Friday evening, although we were hot and tired, the Williamson's (including grandma and Papa) headed up to the church for a ward picnic and movie night. It was a bring-your-own picnic and since Grandma and I were hot and tired and not really in the mood for cooking, we stopped and got some KFC. We all commented that we hadn't had KFC in years and wondered if it was any good. Lucy said, not realizing her wisdom, "That's not real food!" because she didn't want to eat it...but discovered that she actually enjoyed it. There were about 10 families joining in on the games and after a quick meal, the kids were all itching for something to do, so Tyler pulled out the parachute and proceeded to entertain for the next hour.
Janie and I both commented to the Bishop that it looks like we found our new nursery assistant (as we've been struggling to fill that calling for while), but of course Tyler would protest highly to be released from Young Mens. I think every mom there was whispering her gratitude that Tyler had the energy to manage all the kids for that long. Once the games were complete, out came the popcorn machine, candy and lawn chairs in preparation for the movie...Johnny Lingo.
Since Canada stays so bright so late, we were unable to project it onto a screen like originally planned, so we just pulled one of the TV's out from the library. Some of the kids lost interest pretty quickly and Tyler formed a little game of 500 while others sat and watched. It was fun, relaxing and a nice change of pace from our busy lives. Because we had come aerly to help set up, we couldn't take off before everything was put away, so we ended up pulling out of the church parking lot just before 10pm. The kids had fun, especially when the popcorn and candy showed up...and Max and Brielle kept sneaking off in a little two-some.
Hmmm...is there a future there?
