The Return to the Company Picnic

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01321

It has been a couple of years since my company has had a picnic. The pandemic shut it down for two years and this year things began to start getting back to normal. It was a more stripped down version of the picnic but in all I really liked it. It did not seem as cramped as it had past years and the weather today was fantastic. We got here right at the start of the picnic and went right for the fried dough. This year they even had fried Oreos as well. We tried two of them.

This was the very first time I had ever tried Fried Oreos and they were delicious. I love fried dough but adding an Oreo to the middle of one of these was a great addition of a chocolate taste to the fried dough.

The Sings

We gave Andy the run of the place. He wanted to try out the rock climbing and so he did that right after the fried dough. He did okay but did not get all the way up. He’s shown interest in learning how to rock climb and so we are going to get him to a rock climbing gym soon. He’s going to have to try hard if that is something that he wants to learn.

Andy Climbing

Andy also went on many of the rides. He loved the swings and he had a lot of fun making different faces and poses at us each time he swung back our way. He’s a character.

Fried Dough

We headed home a couple of hours after we had gotten to the picnic. We had done all that we had wanted to do while there. We had eaten all that we had wanted to eat, too. Lots of treats for everyone. It was nice to get back to the picnic.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo.
