The daycare excitement continued into the weekend as the annual Park Party was staged, right in Oliver's beloved soccer park. Last year we were invited guests to this event, as we were just about to start there, but this year we got to go as card-carrying actual daycare attendees! The idea was to get all the families together to have a blast and take advantage of the play structures and the splash pad. Mother Nature had other plans. It rained all morning but it didn't deter the spirits of these partygoers, especially Miss Joanne and her staff and their tireless devotion to putting on a grand event. They are all such wonderful people.
Although the attendance was somewhat less than originally expected, all activities went as planned, including face painting, which Isabelle and Oliver enjoyed immensely. Oliver the Lion was holding court all over this park, even getting Miss Joey to chase him back and forth across the park. The rain eventually slowed enough that we could enjoy a conversation with other parents and have some of the delicious BBQ lunch. All the proceeds from the food sales and the raffle contest when to charity, just one more reason why we love this place. Isabelle capped off the event by winning a beautiful black forest cake, she was so proud to tell her friends of her big prize! That's 2 years straight now that this event has been plagued by rain, let's hope next year we are all rewarded with some sunny skies so we can really rip it up!
Oliver patiently waits for his visage
Rain rain, go away!
Jack and Oliver, what a duo
Practicing their mean faces
Checking out Isabelle's grand prize!
