A couple of weekends ago our family went camping with three other lovely families. All of us used to go to the Cornerstone Festival in Bushnell, Illinois, but now, due to the challenge of hitting as many midnight concerts as we would like to now that we all have kiddos, most of us have bailed. We decided to have our own little Cornerstone (with B-stone's name being a compilation of all of our last names) in Owatonna, Minnesota, complete with our own bands, seminars, and kids' program. Here Kelyn is enjoying some of the children's entertainment with his little friend Aletheia.

What an amazing adult-child ratio, eh? Micah and Sara were putting on a bubble demonstration for an audience of two.

Because B-stone convened on the land of one of the family's parents, we also were able to make use of their home. So here Maggie is playing with Kelyn in their living room.

Sara planned an amazing Goodie Gallop for the kids, with one of the parts of the obstacle course requiring the contestants to push the babies a short distance in their strollers. It took us a while to get everything set up, which made the babies a bit cranky. I tried to distract them.

Here Luthien is pushing Kelyn. He's clearly really anxious about the outcome.

Mariama pushing Kelyn. He looks less content this time around.

Abhi would sneak up to me occasionally and ask, "Can I hold the baby?"

I like the idea that Abhi, Mari, and Kelyn are telling secrets here.
