I just realized that I didn't post about our picnic last Sunday Oct. 21, 2012....

What a PERFECT & BEAUTIFUL day it was.  Thanks to those who came and missed the ones who couldn't make it.  Thanks to Sue Bowman for the hot dog buns and brats and thanks to my husband Martin and my daughter Michelle for grilling them.  Thanks to the parents and kids for all the goodies that were brought. 

It was nice to see the families enjoying themselves with their children and getting exercise on top of it :)  Some were hitting the volleyball, little ones were playing on the playground equipment, some were playing P-I-G with the basketball, but I think EVERYONE had a GREAT TIME with KICKBALL!!!  Wow, some serious kickball was going on :) Even the little ones got involved in the game.





 I think we played for over an hour and we still had some at the end who didn't want to leave.  Maybe this winter when we get the winter blues, I will see if we can go somewhere and play.






I told the kids and families that I would keep my eye on the weather and maybe some Sunday, if the weather looks promising, that I would maybe do a mass email and we could all meet over at Gettysburg and take a walk on the new walking trail that they have.  If I am not mistaken, I think it is 7 miles and ends in Bradford?

Whether you are riding your bike, on horseback, skating or walking, you can now travel the length of the new multi-use and ADA accessible trail. The whole family can now make use of the first 7.2 miles of the Darke County Parks "Tecumseh Trail" which opened Saturday in Gettysburg, Ohio.
