Concert in the Park

We have been blessed with an amazing family of friends in California.  God's faithfulness continues to blow me away!  It was so hard to come here, but now it is just as hard to leave.  We will miss our friends here so much, and have been trying to really enjoy our last few weeks here (I have been doing a better job of this than Phil, since he is in Russia!).  

One thing we love to do during the summer is attend the concerts in the park at Polliwog Park in Manhattan Beach.  It is a great time to be outside with friends and share wine (they let you have it in the park during the concerts) and food.  We're not so much into the bands (they are often mediocre) as we are into the eating, drinking, and chatting!  This past weekend, they had a band that covered a bunch of Neil Diamond stuff...very entertaining!  


Here we are with Shannon's great new picnic table, skillfully assembled by John.  I had never seen one of these tables before, but then saw about 20 of them while walking around people watching.  These are my good friends Shannon, John, and Lauren.  Lauren's parents also joined us.  
This was the most popular concert I have ever been to - you can't really even see the band!  Here is the view looking down at the pond during "Sweet Caroline."  The band is down there, I promise!
