A fun day with fellow AGCI families

We drove up to Indiana last night to visit Amber's family. Well, we had the honor and priveledge of meeting up with 3 AGCI families today at a park. We got to meet this family and this family and this family. The Bogards traveled before us and got to meet Silas and give us back a report on him. The Ausbrooks also traveled before us (they've been home almost 6 months) and Tisha and crew traveled after us and have been home about 7 weeks with their girls. It was an amazing day. Thank you guys so much for driving and meeting us ... Tisha and fam drove 3 hours and the Bogards traveled 2 while the Ausbrooks were "local" or at least within 30 minutes or so. It still blows me away to see how God is using the spirit of adoption to bring amazing families together in ways we never would have known. OK, enough talk, I know ... here's what you want :)

The boys loved the climbing wall

The girls LOVED the slide

As someone said on facebook, can you tell who's cautions and who is carefree?

Down we go!

Ball time

All the Ethiopian kiddos together ... I won't mention the "agreement" Tisha had with her girls to have them sit up there ... don't notice a cookie or anything :)

Silas B felt the need to try to put a block on Eli's head

Enjoying her cookie

Love the profile picture

Hey Silas ... great name! :)

Mrs. B made Africa sugar cookies ... yum!

The girls LOVED riding in the wagon ... Amber's sister was pulling them and the faster she went, the more they loved it.

Me and my boy

Her sister needed in on the action as well :)

Thanks again guys for meeting up with us ... it was a perfect day :) Rumor has it we may try to do a large AGCI Midwest/Bible Belt picnic in Nashville next summer if there's interest ... so, any interest?
