Our ward held their annual Pioneer Day at a farm one of the members in the church owns. It was such a cute place out in the country side! Thankfully it was first thing in the morning: still cool enough in the summer heat to tolerate. The humidity was another story. But despite those small details, we had a great time eating breakfast with friends.
As soon as Aubrey was done eating, she asked if she could go with some of her friends outside by the bean bag toss. Soon after, Jocelyn followed in her big sister's footsteps. We told them both to stay out front. I got distracted feeding Andrew a short time later and asked John if he could check on the girls. Lo and behold, they were no longer out front. They came strolling up to the barn a few minutes later - Aubrey complaining about a bug bite she had gotten on their walk down to the POND! The pond?? Come to find out, they followed some other people going to the pond but "forgot" to ask us if they could go along. I just about had a heart attack right then and there. I was scared that Jocelyn could have fallen into the pond and I wouldn't have been around to help her & was saddened that Aubrey got bitten pretty bad on her foot. So unfortunately, we weren't able to join in on the fun pioneer activities (potato sack races & tug of war) they had set up to do right after breakfast. We had a lovely time though being with friends and enjoying the peaceful outdoors!
