Summer Picnic 2012


With the beginning of Summer, it was time for my work's second annual family picnic.  We just happened to pick one of the most glorious days for this fun event.  

Each year, Wendy-Lou (below) and I do all of the planning, shopping and collecting of funds (from our wonderful and generous managers) for this great few hours of fun and socializing.  It's nice to meet all of the family members of those who I work with.

My boss, Darren, was happy to help with the grilling again this year, he was particularly excited to use his new Oregon Ducks barbecue tools. 

I love watching the bugs on the flowers.

Just a few steps away from our covered picnic area, is the river, it was the perfect day for a paddle.  Here's Tom and his two adorable boys, watching some of the other children swim.

Amelia of course was excited to "skip" rocks...

...and when I say rocks, I mean the biggest she could find!
 

Now isn't that a beautiful sight?  Ah Oregon!
 
 
 

Eventually the leggings came off so that Amelia could really enjoy a good paddle by the water's edge. 
 
 

After the rocks, she got a  hold of this huge stick.
 
It truly was four hours of pure family fun and relaxation, we had a good turn out and I think all that attended had a great time.  I can't wait to plan next years picnic.

What are you doing this summertime?

This looked like a fun place to be, might have to plan my next visit around the time of the work's do. Amelia looked like she was having lots of fun.
