Deck interrupted - for picnic

Once again we had our annual special ed. picnic at the cabin. We had a great time. The day started out with a downpour and had me very worried that we would all be huddled in the cabin or under the porch trying to contain a lot of kids. But, the sun came out and it turned out to be a perfect day for a picnic. The kids played in the ever-popular pink sand, had a little gun battle, and found a dead porcupine (it is the woods, you know). The adults sat in our usual lawn chair circle and gabbed. It was a very relaxing time. (we only lost 1 child for a short time) A few times I looked around and thought, "I work with the best bunch of people." I'm already looking forward to next year!
