Today was the 50th annual company picnic at work. This was my 18th one and it was the best day weather-wise of them all. It wasn’t too to, rainy or muggy. It was perfectly warm with a slight breeze all day. The sky had big white clouds and blue skies as well. We could not have asked for a better day.

We started our day off with our usual routine. Every year we have fried dough for breakfast. This was the first year that Andrew ate the whole thing himself.

After our breakfast we picked up the gifts and then I ran back to the car with them while Allison and the kids waited for the bungie bounce. You can see from the image above that Andrew was big into doing flips while Eva was quite content to bounce up and down without any flipping.

As it was the 50th anniversary of the company picnic they had a very special sandcastle made. It was very detailed and nicely made.

We did a few more things and then decided to have lunch. One of the biggest highlights is lobster. This year I got three of them and prepared them for Allison and I to eat. They were very tasty.

After lunch it was time for the rides. The kids are getting bigger so a lot less of the kiddie rides and more of the bigger rides like the giant slide and carousel.

The last thing that we did before we left was stop by the pony rides. Both kids loved it.
