Yesterday was McGraw-Hill's annual company picnic up at Eagle Point Park. They have this once a year around this time, last year we were in California so we missed it, but this year was a little more special because Cooper was able to join me as well as my mom. We had a blast.
The theme this year was Western, so some people we dressed up in cowboy hats and boots, we just dressed normally. LOL our first stop was the old time photo booth they had a saddle for a prop but you couldn't sit on it and they had a few hats, like the one I'm wearing. It was funny, but Cooper and I got out picture taken.
After the photo booth, this was right when we got to the park and there wasn't a line so we took advantage of it and got it out of the way. We then headed over to the pavilion where the food was, everything was catered by Hy-Vee they had a taco bar buffet or an American buffet, as they call it, that had hamburgers, hot dogs or brats. I had a hamburger and mom had a hot dog. We also had baked bean, macaroni and cheese, coleslaw and potato chips. It was delicious! For dessert I had an ice cream sandwich!
Cooper fell asleep after lunch, can you tell he's hot? I unbuckled him so he wouldn't be so hot, not sure if it helped but it seemed like it did.
Mom pushing Cooper, behind her is the bandstand, I think that's what it's called, but here is where they had some country line dancing lessons, and later a game show and then door prizes. I didn't win anything.
Then there was the horse and carriage, we thought about going on this but decided to pass. Cooper was hungry so mom fed him and we just enjoyed watching the river and everyone around. There were over 900 people!
Cooper all fed and happy. Grandma was so excited to be with us she even took the day off.
And Cooper all wore out.
Mom left about 2:00 so Cooper and I went and walked around the park. We had to be present to win any of the drawings so we stuck around. Here are a few pictures of the Might Mississippi one of my favorite places to be is looking out at the river. It' so gorgeous.
The lock and dam
It was a beautiful day and I'm so glad to be working for such a great company! I can honestly say I love my job!
