Family Picnic

I took Chloe to the family picnic day that Matt's work put on. The picnic was held at the park right down from our street so it was really convenient for me I just put Chloe in the stroller and walked on down. Matt wasn't able to go because he had to work maybe for the next one.

His work did a great job with the picnic. They served us lunch which included hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, and several other dishes and sides including more desserts then even Chloe could eat. What I loved too was they had individually wrapped the hot dogs and hamburgers so that no flies could get on the them and then they had covered the rest with those cute netted covers. This is important to me cause I cannot stand to go to a picnic and then see all of these flies all over the food it just grosses me out weird I know but that's how I am. They had plenty of games for the children like a potato sack race, hula hoop contest, water balloon fight and more. Plus the park had a water splash pad for the kids to run around and get wet in and they rented a big water slide for the kids.

Chloe loved running around with all of the kids she couldn't really participate in the games she tried to twirl the hula hoop but had more fun just running with it then anything . They had prizes for all of the kids once the games were over with and Chloe picked out her own prize. She walked up grabbed the big 64 pack of crayons and then ran off with them giggling the whole time it was adorable. They also gave me a coloring book to go with her crayons. They had a lot of great prizes to choose from so it was really nice.

Before they did the water balloon fight Chloe loved going over and pulling out the balloons and then just carrying them around. She did really well with them too she only bit one and it got a little hole in it so it was spraying her which didn't bother her so she just kept on playing. I also got her face painted which she wasn't a big fan of cause she didn't like sitting still but it went pretty quickly and the butterfly was really cute. Unfortunatly I forgot to take a picture of it.

Even though she wasn't big enough for the water slide she loved running over to the bottom of it waiting for one of the other kids to come down because once they hit the pool of water it would splash up and hit her so she would wait till it was hitting her then turn and run hilarious to watch her turn and take off. She played around in the splash pad too and had many treats. Over all it was a great day and we had lots of fun. I'm excited for when they throw the next one so I can take her back.
