    After a long hard day of working in the yard on Saturday, we showered off the dirt and put on fresh clothes. Theron drove us to our new favorite asian restaurant, Fung Mei, where we enjoy the food and the atmosphere of three very large aquariums.
    After our meal, we head to the mall for a game of Neon Golf. We've decided that our new Saturday evening activity will be of the active sort now that the weather is more agreable. Last week, was my choice and we walked the Greenway trail in Lilburn (well, almost all of it). This week was Hannah's choice and since I had gotten a coupon deal (thanks to the Jordan family), I offered that as an option, which Hannah did not refuse. It was not an outside activity and we would have waited for a rainy day, but the coupon was due to expire soon. Besides we had been outside all day already. We all got "glow in the dark" necklaces to wear and marveled at how the "blue light" made parts of our clothing appear to glow as well.
    On Sunday, Josiah carried his bug habitat to church. In it was his prize catch from Saturday, a tree frog. He's been hearing them at night and wanting to go out after dark and find them. Well, I guess he got his wish and did not have to go out at night. He just had to climb a tree. On the way to church, he was talking about how amazing God has made each and every animal.
    Josiah seened so mature as he showed the younger kids the tiny creature he had found. At the church picnic, he covered alot of ground chasing moths and butterflies, and collecting trash. This is a fairly new "hobby" of his. He finds things on the ground that have been discarded by others as having no value and tries to invent somthing with them. One of his jobs around the house use to be gathering the household trash, until I found that he was retrieving items from the trash to use for his inventions. I've heard it said that one person's trash is another person's treasure. Well, it is definitely true for him.
     It was a great day for a picnic. There was a nice breeze and this park had sufficient shade to accomodate everyone. Thank you, Lord for a beautiful day.
