Logos Picnic & Built-ins!

August began with more beautiful weather and the annual Logos picnic! It’s always a lot of fun, and this year the food was better than ever. There were several local food trucks serving whatever we wanted (for no cost to us!), plus Woods Coffee and Mallard’s Ice Cream, and all kinds of treats! I ate from the philly cheese steak food truck and I had the “Mt. Baker” – which was a cheese steak covered in a most amazing homemade mac & cheese. It sounds awful, but I had to try it…given my love for mac & cheese. It was INCREDIBLE! Definitely a highlight of the picnic for me! The girls ate burritos and quesadillas, ice cream, raspberry lemonade, cotton candy, kettle corn, pop, shave ice, cheesecake on a stick, rice krispie bars, and probably more. Pretty much it’s the one day a year we let them eat anything they want. It’s better than going to the fair because it’s all free!

Another highlight of the day was meeting another Logos family who also has 4 girls and then, near the end of our time together, we discovered that we live IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD! What fun! Their girls are much younger…basically our family about 7 years ago. We hope to see them more in the future.

And as always, there were fun games to play, though the ever popular trampoline jumpy thing from last year wasn’t working properly. The girls did have fun on the bungee race, however.

While we were at the picnic, my dad was slaving away in our house. He came before we left to get started on some built-ins for us in our bonus room and then he worked the whole day and we didn’t even bring him any goodies! We love those built-in’s, though. Thanks, dad!!!

They’re beautiful and useful! I still have to caulk and paint them. I’d love to find all coordinating baskets and bins, but I’m still working on what all will be stored there. They’re full for now, but I’m sure it will evolve as time goes on. We are so happy to have that additional storage up in the bonus room!
