ESPN Picnic - August 2014

We took the boys to the annual ESPN Employee Picnic last month.  It's held at Lake Compounce, which is a small amusement park.

Jay and Brody went on the Caterpillar Train together.  We were a bit nervous putting Brody on there, but he was mostly alright.  He tried to stand up about halfway through and looked like he was going to start screaming, but he held it together.  




Jay went on the flying elephants next.  We didn't think that would be good for Brody since he had tried to stand up on the previous ride, so he had to sit that one out.  Boy, was he mad about that!  Jay actually got the dud elephant and it never went in the air!  He just sat there watching the elephant in front of him lift into the air.



I took both boys on a hot air balloon ride that lifted us in the air, then the four of us went on the carousel.


After some snacks and drinks, we headed to the water park.  We spent quite awhile in the water park, but I didn't get any pictures from there since we had our hands full with the kids.  Jay was a complete daredevil and wanted to go down all the slides.  Brody was quite the opposite and didn't want me to let go of him for a second.  Jay had so much fun in the water park and was so upset when we had to leave.  Lots of crying and screaming.  Thankfully, the promise of ice cream quieted him down.





After the water park we trekked to the pavilion for dinner.  The boys got completely covered in BBQ sauce and ice cream, so then it was time to head home for a bath.  Fun day!
