Hey, ride.

Tonight we all went to a hayride with some families from church.  I haven't been to a hayride since youth group and enjoyed the chance to eat a hot dog blackened from the fire and a real s'more made on a coat hanger rather than in the microwave.  (Side note: The new flat square marshmallows are a terrific innovation; makes s'mores much less sticky and likely to burn your fingers due to squish-over.)  The kids had a blast.  Lots of little boys there right around Eric's age for him to run around and play with, and they were thrilled with the ride sitting on a haybale in a trailer pulled behind a pickup.  They apparently do this every year (this is our first year in this Sunday School class), and the kids are already looking forward to going again next year.
