Dad has the BEST job in the World!

This weekend was Abe's summer work party. It started off going to a free showing in a theater of a Feature Films for Families movie. We had actually seen the movie, "Slow Moe" before, but the kids loved it and were very happy to go again.

After the movie we drove to the location of the party and on the way the kids made Abe feel really good and appreciated by telling him he has "the best job in the world!"

"We don't ever want you to get another job! We get to go the the movie theater!---We get tons of free movies!
And we get to go to the summer party!"
It is a fun party for the kids and the adults. There is lunch, face-painting, free cotton candy and snow cones, little kid games, a big bouncy slide, a miniature golf course, and this year there were competitions that families could participate it.









These two little cuties won the three legged race. They won a DVD of "Slow Moe".














Abe and I did not do so well in the race. We were in the lead at the half way point, but we got all tangled up turning around to come back. Oh, the shame--we ended up last.












We also did the water balloon toss, but Faith just wanted a water balloon to hold. She took very good care of it.














Bethany really enjoyed the blue snow cones. And she would like it to be known that her face-painting is a cat, not a mouse.













Clark wanted to participate in the pie eating contest, but it was just for the adult representatives of the the different offices for FFFF. Darn-- he probably could have done pretty well.












The Foxey Ladies. I love these girls! Faith is pointing out her princess crown face paint.















This picture was taken much later during the day on Saturday at the annual Clark family BBQ at Uncle Lane's house. Cannon and Kaylee (Chip and Laura's almost 2 year old) sat down together for a farewell dinner.
Chip and Laura and Kaylee move to Northern Virginia tomorrow. We will miss them and little Kaylee.
I DON'T LIKE PEOPLE MOVING AWAY!!!

It is wonderful to feel such appreciation for what you do.............once a year.

Just kidding.

Also, I absolutely love the summer FFFF party, too.
