Company Family Picnic

Last Saturday we spent an adventurous evening at the annual family picnic Aaron's work puts on. Here are some pictures of the the fun things we did.

Talmage tried out the climbing wall after watching Aaron go up. He went up about six or seven feet and then came down. It was amazing that he even tried-- he doesn't like heights.

Aaron, of course, went all the way up and rang the bell before descending.

Anya was fearless and loved feeding the long horns. Talmage, after watching Anya feed several long horns (and after much daddy pressure) finally fed one and felt so brave.

Anya also liked feeding the goats. She is getting so much braver these days.

Silly faces by the pony rides.

Talmage riding a pony. He has done this the past two years also, so he feels like a pro.

The past two years Anya wanted nothing to do with the ponies but this year she was ready. She warmed up even more than this and took another ride later in the day with out me standing so close. What a big girl.



We had a lot of fun. Not included in these pictures is the giant inflatable bouncers, the live band (which Talmage was a quite miffed about because he thought he'd get a chance to try their instuments), the hay ride and all the carnival rides, and of course lots of food.
Anya's favorite part of all was the Ferris Wheel. She rode around and around with her arms up while her poor mom held onto her shirt with one hand, so she wouldn't fall out, and onto the bar with the other because those things go higher than I remember ( I think I'm getting old!).
