Greenfield Picnic Day 2009

Greenfield's Annual End of the Year Picnic was today at the park on Brownlee Road. Landon and the rest of the kids had a wonderful time. Below, is Landon's first attempt at jumping off the climbing rocks (reserved for 5 years old and up) You have to click on the picture to really appreciate it. His face tells the whole story!
His class having lunch.

There was a rhino, a horse, and a race car. Landon passed on the first two and waited for a turn on the car. Imagine that!


Running for the next water spout



He became more brave with each jump. This was about #5.


He landed with a thud. Lay motionless. I ran over thinking, "Great, I've let the kid break his back!" (The other moms were trying to keep their kids off the rocks) "Landon, are you okay?"
"Dat one hurt just a wittle," he said in a calm steady voice without looking up or moving a muscle. "Jus wet me way here a minute."


"Okay, I'm ready to do it again!'


Taking a break to warm up with Mrs. Candy.
Back to the grindstone


One last jump before time to leave. If I had to guess, he probably did this 50 times. All that practice jumping off the stage at church finally paid off!

We've been super-busy doing "things" and I haven't had a chance to post in a while. Here's a quick catch-up of our past couple of months...

They made dolls and hospital gowns, then delivered them to kids at Sutton Children's Hospital.
