The Greatest Carnival on Earth

Today we went to church, then lunched with our friends, the Ligons, at Raising Canes and headed to the SA Rodeo
Grounds for more entertainment. A highlight of the latter half of our day was definitely watching the DockDogs compete in a long jump competition. We watched dogs of various breeds (pit bull, golden retriever, Weimaraner, German Shepard and more) run and jump after a toy into a pool at distances between 8 and 22 feet. Wow!!!!! I am going to attach some photos of that, but you have to know that the blur above the water is the dog. Really amazing doggies. Ton of fun. Kevin and Greg are brainstorming how to make this into a similar competition for our kids. Addie is sure she can train Chela to dock dive. We will have to help her develop an affection for a toy first.
That fun eventually ended so we walked conveniently over to THE GREATEST CARNIVAL ON EARTH!!!! Can you believe it? The greatest carnival on earth and dock dogs right here in San Antonio!!!
We love the Ligons. The kids had fun taking turns playing Mr. Greg's favorite.
So to paraphrase a statement I made yesterday, when the people you worship with feel like family, you know you picked the right church. How do we get so lucky?
