We're back from the Ethiopian Kids Community's Annual picnic in Minneapolis. There were over 600 attendees from 19 states this year! What a fantastic turnout! It was great to see families who I've met previously, and meet new ones that I've only "talked" to on the forum. Here's some photos from our trip:

What great pictures! How did I miss you guys at the picnic? DH had several "Asrat sightings" but is too shy to say hello on his own, and I never did spot you guys. It looks like your girls had a fabulous time! I have to say the 2-4 year-old fun run was probably my favorite part of the day, and I didn't even have a kid competing.
It was nice to meet you at the hotel and the picnic!!!!
