Picnic

Whenever the weather turns warm it beckons everyone outside, and we waste no opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors.   Last month week several families from Little Church gathered at a friend’s camp site for a potluck and hike to the local swimming hole. 
 

It was still too chilly for bathing suits, but that didn’t stop the kids from wading in as far as they dared.  Amanda announced a few minutes after we arrived that she had to use the bathroom.  The nearest restroom was a 10 minute hike back to the park, and the only other alternative was an excursion in the bushes, when I remembered I still had a pair of training pants in the diaper bag.  She gladly put them on, concentrated for a moment, then took them off and coolly handed them back to me, saying, “OK, I’m done.” Ah, the moments of motherhood that nobody ever tells you about.
