Parlier Picnic

The Parlier Picnic has always been something we all look forward to... but earlier in the week, when it was raining for four days, we worried about what would happen... but as luck would have it, Sunday was absolutely beautiful! Kara woke up and the first thing she said was, "it's not raining! We don't have to cancel the Parlier Picnic!"

Kara and Ben had practiced their "Parlier picnic run" the weeks leading up to the big event and Ben was "thumbs up" to run!



The prizes are always fantastic, things the kids love... but who knew that Ben would choose a flyswatter for one of his prizes? He ran with the flyswatter, used it to push a beach ball along the grass and generally, just enjoyed carrying it around.



Kara loved hanging out with her cousins, Claire and Elyse. Watching them play together is really fun and makes us happy to know that they'll see more of each other now that we live so close.



Jason had fun too... he "ran" some races, played on the grass, and was happy in the baby bjorn... but he was probably happiest and cutest with Daddy.

And at the rate of his army crawl, Jason will definitely be ready for next year's picnic!
