On June 21, we attended the annual family picnic that’s hosted by Dan’s company. Mio had a blast last year but I was in Philadelphia visiting a friend that weekend so was unable to go. I was really glad that I could attend this year for the first time and join in all the family fun! 🙂

Mio in the bounce house
After we ate some food (which was delicious!), Mio immediately gravitated towards the bounce house.

Mio on a pony ride
Mio really wanted to go on the pony ride. When it was over, she asked if she could “ride more” and the staff let her go a second time around.

 

Mio at the petting zoo
They even had a petting zoo area! Here’s Mio holding a baby duckling.

Mio with her face painted
The result! She really wanted the kitty cat face for some reason… lol. To me, it looks more like a tiger.

Mio with her balloon heart
She got a balloon heart wand made, too! She initially asked for a ninja turtle but the balloon artist couldn’t make it.

 

Dan rode the human gyroscope. Just watching him made me dizzy!


 

Enjoying Italian ice!

We love that Dan’s company hosts such fun, family-friendly events, and this picnic is definitely something that we all look forward to every year. We thoroughly enjoyed all the food, activities, games and rides!
