EA Company Picnic

EA has a company picnic every year and they know how to throw a party! It was at the fairgrounds and there were inflatable toys like giant slides, jousting, the bungee run, and obstacle courses; a petting zoo; pony rides;, a guy on stilts making balloon animals and swords; a live band; carnival games; a huge climbing wall; and lots of tasty food! Cotton candy, popcorn, candy apples, hotdogs, corn dogs, turkey legs, corn on the cob, pulled pork sandwiches, chicken wings, ect. It was a PARTY! The only downside was the 96 degree weather and no shady trees. But there was a breezy pavillion so we could rest and cool down.

Jacob had to work that Saturday so he didn't stay the whole time but he made good use of what he had. He challenged all of his boys to a jousting match.

I think he let them win.
And slid down the giant slide with his baby girl.

And made sure to leave with a generous sampling of fair food.

Everyone had a horse/pony ride, even me! It was the first time for everyone, except me. Elijah wanted to ride the horse.

His brothers stuck with the ponies.

Aeris wanted to see the "horsies". And she just looked so cute and serious on her pony!


It was a lot of fun. I just wish Jacob could have stayed longer. Usually they do the picnic earlier in the year. A lot of teams are in Alpha right now and you could tell there wasn't the crowd like I've seen in previous years.
