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 with her caricature — Does it look like her? 🙂

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

That's our climber! — That’s our climber!

Coming down the slide of 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 and I waiting for face painting — Waiting in line for face painting.

Mio getting her face painted. Love her scrunched up expression! lol

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 looking at herself in my phone camera:

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! My sweet tooth loved it. 🙂

Mio in the moonbounce — Mio in another moonbounce. She couldn’t get enough of them!

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!

First Family Picnic

It finally felt like summer here in the East Bay this weekend, so we decided to get out and enjoy the nice weather with an impromptu family picnic over in Tilden Park in Berkeley. We set a blanket down on the field and ate the sandwiches and fruit we brought, and just soaked up the sun for a couple hours….
