Mother Daughter Tea at Providence!

This past Saturday we journeyed down to Providence Church (our sister church in Peoria) for their annual Mother Daughter Tea. We drove with the Hills which helped to make the drive not quite so long... :-)
It was lovely! We enjoyed several inspiring talks (including two from Jessica and Mrs. Erber), some beautiful singing from the Providence young ladies and a hilarious skit. :-) The luncheon was just scrumptious and all the tables were decorated uniquely by the ladies from the church - beautiful!

A beautiful sky I captured on the way down

My FAVORITE table!!! Jessica M's literature table!

The table we sat at (Mrs. Degenhart's)

A neat old camera on Tiffany's photography table

The skit - "Cooking with Mom" :-)

Meeting new friends - Sierra & Lenna (oh yeah, and us)

Jessica & Melinda - they were posing for someone else but I took one too - why not? :-)

The drive home... utterly exhausted (ok, yes, we posed)

On the drive home, our moms had to deal with the sound of almost constant camera-clicking - three girls with three cameras with just a touch of that weird combination of being really tired and a bit hyper. :-) I was excited that Wendy showed me how to shoot in black and white... we took lots of pictures of outside the car and some of inside (of US)... though most of those were on Wendy's camera (if you check her blog, I warn you to beware).

We stopped for coffee for Mrs. Hill...

I like this picture. :-) Kind of artsy...

"I wish I was in Dixie, away, away..." :-)

Take your guess what these are! :-)

All in all, it was a lovely day and a big thank you to all the ladies of Providence (oh, and the young men who were such good sports to wait on us all day! :-).
