Stickers and Fire Dogs

Last weekend, we went to our churches Family Picnic.

There was tons of stuff there--lots of games, lots of food, inflatables, face painting, cotton candy!

They even brought in a sand pit.  I must say that I have cursed that sand pit every day this week when Henry has come home with his clothes completely gross!

A firetruck was also there and started spraying water for the kids to run through.

Ben took Josh across the field to the firetruck. 

Unfortunately for Josh Oliver, Ben didn't notice that the field was covered with stickers.

Josh ended up losing one of shoes and, within a couple of steps, had tons of stickers in his foot.  Sadly , they were the kind of stickers that quickly break off and leave behind lots of little thorns. 

Fun for us!

He screamed and screamed when we tried to pull them out.  

I finally had to just carry him back to the car, where I could pin him down and yank them out with tweezers. 

I felt really bad for him, but I couldn't help but laugh everytime I looked at my crying, screaming boy whose face was painted like a fire dog!
