Annual Standage Easter Picnic
.......................just a week late. Every Saturday before Easter my family goes on a big picnic. It started back when I was a child and we have done it every year. This year we did it a week late because Easter weekend fell on the same week as spring break and we didn't want all the crowds. Each year the group tends to get bigger and better with all our family and friends. This year we had about 22 kids and 18 adults. We had so much fun. We went to Queen Valley- (where we went on Presidents Day).
Of course the thing the kids wanted to do first was play in the water. There was not one dry kid.
I loved that I captured his facial expression after he fell in!
Wasn't happy about his shirt being wet.
This is a shot of the kids for the 2 years and under egg hunt.
Then we did the older kids.
The guys skeet shooting
Grandpa with the kids and their protective ear wear watching them shoot.
The kids LOVE this.
We had one injury. Kate's front tooth has been loose now for a couple years. She fell and hit a couple times when she was about 3 and it has been loose ever since. The dentist said she would loose it early- but we didn't think this early. She got it caught on (we think) my shorts when I was lifting her off of the golf cart. It ripped it almost completly out. She held on to it the rest of the day and even went to bed without letting any of us touch it. She wouldn't eat anything. 
Sunday morning after much convincing she let me pull it out. 
This is right before we left for church.

She looks so cute with it missing! Adam has 3 missing on top and is looking kind of lop-sided. Your Easter picnic looks like it was a blast. You guys have such a great family!
