May 21, 2007 - End of the Year Class Picnic

Nicholas had his class picnic for preschool at a park near our church. I was asked 2 weeks prior to chair the committee. At first, I thought there was no way I could do that, but the more I thought about it the more I realized that organizing the picnic ahead of time would be much easier that needing to do a lot at the picnic while taking care of my own 4 children. So, a weeks worth of phone calls and organization got the job done. However, I didn't anticipate that when the picnic day arrived that none of the volunteers just stepped in to take over their responsibilities, they were all looking to me for what do do and when. YIKES. It all worked out in the long run and ended up being a great day. The kids love to play on the playground, so we let them do a lot of that and then we had a few organized games.










We also had ours and Shawn&Erin's shaved ice machines and the kids all got to have a sno cone. They were a big hit. It was a cold, cloudy day, but the kids had lots of fun.
