Amy got us our absentee ballots from Greenville, and we sealed them up and mailed them today. Incidentally, when I voted, I was more concerned about these guys than about these two.

Don’t forget to vote.

This past Saturday, I spent the afternoon and evening with Lily, our pastor’s 11 year-old niece. We started our afternoon adventure by going to a local park and painting at the River Legacy Living Science Center. (Yes – my painting is proudly displayed on our fridge – come by and take a look!) After painting and snake catching, we walked around and threw a frisbee.

When we left the park, we made a quick stop at Kroger and came home to attempt making an apple pie from scratch. I won’t claim to be an expert pie baker, but with a few creative adjustments the pie came out to be eat-worthy. Between baking and eating our pie, we enjoyed pizza, a few games of Jenga, and playing three-way frizbee in a near-by field.
