While attending the rosary for my wife’s Great Uncle, some gems came forth from the mouths of babes.

First:
Sign number 34 that your kid doesn’t spend much time in a Catholic Church:

Kid #1 (pointing to the crucifix on the wall): Why did they put that guy on the church-sticks?

Second:
The younger of the two also had observations to work out…
(The following took place in hushed tones while everyone was praying the rosery)
Kid #2: What is that guy [the priest] doing?
Mother: Shhh! We’re praying!
Kid #2: Oh.
Kid #2: [Thinks for a few seconds]
Kid #2: Are we praying for him to get out of the box?
Mother (Rather Surprised): I really hope not.

I have added some pictures to the gallery from recent outings.

I took some pictures at the church after the decorations went up for the Advent season.

The rest of those pictures can be found here, under the South Broadway album.

We also took a trip to the Glass Studio for C & H Glassworks for a glass blowing demonstration.

You can find more pictures from the field trip here, also under the South Broadway album.
