Today was the annual company picnic. Can you believe that I have been to sixteen of these things. Next month I hit my 17th year and I’ve attended one since I started. Now with the kids getting older they can do so many more things themselves and they are still big fans of attending. Each year we have a few of our favorite things to do. Fried Dough for breakfast and clam chowder right after that. The kids love riding the horses and going through the funhouse maze. I enjoy eating plenty of lobster and Allison enjoys that I crack all the lobsters and prepare them for her. The kids love getting the stuffed animal each year and this year it was a manatee. Below are some photos from our best moments today.
There are few days in a year that I look forward to more than the Annual Company picnic. I am with a company that still throws a giant company picnic. Aside from Health Insurance it is my favorite benefit for working here. Now that we have kids who do not need strollers and who can go on almost every ride in the place it is even more fun.
If I thought about it a day like the one we had today would have cost a couple hundred dollars. All the food, games, prizes, rides and shows together cost a lot of money but at the Annual Company Picnic it is all free. I had three lobsters and could have had more. The weather was brutally hot and I was sweating like crazy while cracking lobsters so that wasn’t too enjoyable, but eating them, oh it was awesome!
