A Tisket A Tasket a Picnic in a Basket

This past Saturday was the hospital annual picnic at Cedar Lakes. We have gone for several years and we all look forward to it. Several of my co-workers also attend with their families and we always sit under "our tree". It provides shade, is close to the food and children's activities and we are able to set up our chairs and turn the kids loose. There are stands set up with cotton candy and sno cones (all you can eat) as well as the Schwann's ice cream truck and tons of other food under the bigtop. This year there was face painting, horse buggy rides, and several blow up things like the Jupiter Jump and water slides. There is also fishing and a swimming pool as well as a live band and karaoke. The kids come check in every so often but Brianna spends alot of her time riding the horse buggy from one end to the other instead of walking. We had a great time and then it was time to head to the races which just happen to be right next to Cedar Lakes. The races always run late so we didnt get home until 2:30 AM! The little boys in the picture with the girls are Austin and Alex, my nephews. Their family went to the picnic with us and then we all headed over to the races together.... LONG fun filled day!
