Simplicity: {Picnic} Photo Shoot:)

We need to have a photo shoot kids! Soon!
The blossoms were out, it was a perfect evening to take pictures..."Can we please?" Not quite...everyone was busy doing other things...and there was quite a lot going on that evening. Thus, our lovely photo shoot got postponed, yet again.

One week and two days later...

"We should do it today! The blossoms are out and it looks like the weather is going to be perfect!" Our photographer agreed, and we planned for that evening to take the lovely photos. The day came and went, supper ended...7pm right on time Laurie prayed to end our evening worship. The time had come! It was here! Finally we were going to take our pictures!

We all ran to "our dorm". Originally the plan had been to take them in the orchard with our picnic table. The only slight problem that we had though was that the sprinklers were "tick ticking" away and we would be all wet if we were to run into the orchard where all the blossoms were. Spontaneously, we grabbed our picnic table and lugged it over to the road. "Perfect!" someone exclaimed. "This is going to be so fun!" I was so excited!

Ironically enough after we had taken several perfect shots with our table Loralee suddenly got the notion in her silly head that we should run out onto the dock in the middle of the pond. "Come on guys, it'll only take three minutes to get out there!" Agnes, and I both thought it would be a great idea. WayAnne, Katie, and Ruthie weren't so sure. No worries the canoe was already down there waiting for our arrival, and in less then a minute Loralee and I ran and found a couple paddles for us.

7:42pm. Girls free time ended at 8pm. We got this! We all managed to get out there, plus our bottles with flowers in them, plus our happy sign in less then 5 minutes. The plan was brilliant, and worked splendidly!

7:57pm. We should just jump in!!! Someone decided. Not sure who that was. But all of a sudden in less then two minutes I was jumping in with dear Agnes in a skirt of all things! I didn't even think before I did this crazy thing, because I knew I wouldn't do it if I did. I was so surprised when I realized the water was actually not as freezing as I was expecting.

The evening turned out to be an absolute success! We got great pictures, and had a ton of fun.

I am so thankful to have friends. These girls are so sweet, beautiful, and we have had so many fun memories. I can't believe that all four of them--all except my dear rommie, will be leaving in less then 40 days.

I love you girls!
