Work Picnic

Stace's company picnic was Saturday, at a grassy ranch down Sierra Highway in Canyon Country. The party organizers encouraged everyone to come dressed in "Dapper" wear, so we did our best. Cora is dressed as a dapper boy, mainly so she could wear one of Stace's flat caps.

Violet had her face painted as a cat by the balloon lady, who also created a balloon mouse for her.

The weather was gloomy and showery off and on, but two huge tents were set up to keep the main part of the party dry.
The food was really good! Barbecued chicken and beef, and hot dogs, macaroni salad and fruit were on offer.












The girls loved the children's contests and carnival games; here, Violet is walking on tin cans.

The sack race was a lot of fun, too. The girls collected loads of prizes - though not necessarily the valuable type you cherish the next day.

After the races, we went back under the tent for bingo. We didn't win any cards, but thankfully Violet shed no tears.
The mock Western town made for a nice photo backdrop.
We had a lot of fun, of the good, old-fashioned kind.
