"You Go First"

On Sunday morning, John had another race to run. He did a 5K on Saturday with Lang and on Sunday he ran a 5 miler by himself.  Chris and I went with James and our kids to catch minnows. (Joseph didn't want to go.)

As we were walking to the pond, I realized that Josiah was still in his pajamas.  Apparently, I can't get all of my kids dressed for any given event.  (Remember the night before Wesley and Lydia ate dinner in their pj's while everyone else had on regular clothes.)

The kids caught only one minnow.  We didn't have any bait since the bait (dog food) had gone back to Virginia with the dog.

The kids wanted to walk around the pond.  Wesley started to cross the bridge but said, "This doesn't look safe.  You go first, James."

James easily walked across the bridge since he had done it many times before.  Wesley followed right behind him.

Then Lydia.

I went after Lydia and then Chris carried Josiah across the bridge.  If Chris had not been with us, I would have walked through the water with Josiah.

We did see several jelly fish but not near the bridge.

All the kids and adults made it safely back across the bridge.

Sometimes we all need a trusted friend to go before us.
