Picnic and Trains

Saturday was the company picnic for Orbital Science. They always do a great job. It was at Kiwanis park and they had a barbecue and lots of activities for the kids.

The boys spotted the jump houses first so we started off with those.




Bryce and Annalise enjoyed watching all of the activities until it got to be nap time and too hot, then they got fussy!


Then on to the climbing wall. This is where the boys spent a lot of their time...and I obviously enjoyed taking pictures of all of their climbs.
















William made it to the top!


Once it got to be nap time and a little too hot for the two little ones, I left with them and headed to an activity that was put on by the Wild Eagle Railroad and sponsored by Make-A-Wish. We found out about it from Bryce's wish granters. The little ones were able to sleep on the way over and by the time we got there, they were ready to have a good time looking at trains. Bryce absolutely loves trains!

Here is a picture of Bryce pushing a button and making the whistle on the train blow. He thought that was pretty neat.


Here is a video of some of the trains that we saw. Bryce loved watching them. The hardest part was when he had to wait for a few seconds for the next train to come around...he didn't like waiting!


While we were there, Bryce had his picture taken multiple times by photographers who were there. It was pretty fun. It was an exhausting day, but a nice change of pace as we spent time with the family.
