BP Picnic

Chris has now worked for BP for 4 years and we had yet made it to the big annual picnic that they host for all the families.  We had heard how cool it was time and time again, but because of vacations, work schedules, or other commitments had never officially checked it out.  So I was determined to go this year and let the kids enjoy some of the fun things. 

Sarah and the kids joined me and we met up with Shannon and her girls as well.  We took full advantage of FREE everything which included pony rides, Frisbee art, multiple jump houses, train rides, ice cream, scavenger hunts, face painting, BBQ food, mechanical bull riding, playgrounds, cupcake contest, and one of the cooler things was the theme was the Olympics so they had they "Olympics" set up and events that the kids could participate in.  Very cool.

As long as we are in town, I think this will definitely be an annual event! 

Cruiser, Brodes, Dane, and Hai's, showing off their bull riding stamp--so TOUGH!

The 3 girls--Hayden, Emery, and Finnley and Hailey! I am constantly reminded how easy girls are at this age, they were so calm and obedient, and didn't kick, fight, punch, push, or run away once! :)

A lot harder than it looks!

Ping pong balls shooting at him over 100 mph!

The many faces and emotions of bull riding--Crew and Hai's did great, Brody and Dane were all talk and actually had to stop the ride... :)

ENOUGH!!

I think we may have a future gymnast on our hands-

Did I mention everything was FREE?  For all the games and fun activities we did and food we ate I can't even count how much that would have cost.  Oh and the most important part was the kids had a blast and they were wiped out!  Until next year-
