Now in it’s 5th year for our family - the annual company picnic was here again! And good weather again this year!
Since the boys are no longer in the same place, it’s a little less convenient to get Thomas there. So I gave Matt the job of fetching the eldest and I took the easy job of getting Henry from daycare. While we waited for them to show up, we had a snack! Henry didn’t think the pretzel stick was nearly as exciting as I did. Maybe he thought it was an empty corndog??
Henry got tired of waiting, so we took off to do some chasing in the inflatable maze. This kid is much quicker and sneakier than previous years…
Thomas and Matt finally got there and Thomas went straight for the Lego display. Is anyone surprised? I’m not!
Next up was the giant obstacle course. Henry was having a blast running through the course, though I’m not sure he was terrible confident about the first time down the slide…!
The next time through the two of them got to race and Thomas just barely beat his brother - who didn’t seem to care at all. They went through it several times and clearly had a blast! (They make Thomas take his glasses off to go through it and it doesn’t seem to faze him at all.)
And I finally got my cheesy smile photo! I probably should have taken it before they were all hot and sweaty, but I think Henry was bright red before Thomas even showed up. Side note - who are these giant boys? Just look at how much they have grown since the picnic two years ago!
I finally managed to get them away from all of the fun stuff so we could go get some food. And the eldest one went straight for the fruit cup full of melon. Ugh. I mean, I am glad he’s such a healthy eater, but melon… Just ugh.
Luckily the dessert was unhealthy enough to make up for anything healthy we had already eaten. It’s a little hard to tell, but it’s a giant scoop of ice cream on top of a donut. With all the extra goodies, of course. It was about as ridiculously good as you would imagine it was. A great ending to a fun filled evening - as always! :)
The only change from the previous two years is that we aren’t going to the cabin tomorrow. :(
Huge bummer, but I just wasn’t up for no electricity or running water with the baby just yet. I offered to book it for Matt and the boys, but we just decided to wait until next year. Hopefully whoever got the cabin this weekend enjoyed it as much as we have!
