Hospital Staff Picnic

Today was the annual picnic for all the hospital staff and their families. They have it right next to the hospital in a big field. It's like a mini carnival. They had horse rides (Emry went on one and really liked it, her horses name was Sissy), a petting zoo, face painting, jump houses, a dunk tank (Luke almost hit the target twice, so they let him run up and smack it with his hand), a bubble blowing station, various carnival type games, and free food! All three kids had a great time. Luke & Emry both had 2 snocones a piece. It was so nice to be able to have some fun with the kids and not have it be so crazy and crowded with people. Trent had to leave early to get back to work, so the kids and I ended up staying and hanging out for a long time. The kids mostly jumped in the jump houses while I enjoyed some shade and music that the DJ was playing. It was so relaxed and stress free. The kids just played and played, they were very very good! We had such a nice time, we can't wait for next year.

Millie...I cannot get over how big your kiddos are. Has it really been that long since K-ville?

They are so beautiful!

Emry;s eyes just have to be a million dollar goldmine! Get that girl to a talent agent, modeling agency, something!! Of course, your photography might have something to so with it, too!!!

Face painting yay! I am already excited for the Oktober Fest in Chippewa Falls in September because they have an awesome face painter there. Adia LOVED it! (Too bad we had to wait like an hour last year-bad timing). Looks like your kids had a blast. I can't get over how much older Luke looks. Transitioning from little boy to big boy.
