While the event was earlier in the year, it started later in day than it did last year. This worked out great because while it was warm in the late afternoon by the time the sun went down the weather and temperature were perfect.
When we arrived the girls played in the bounce houses while we hung out saying hello to everyone. Then we grabbed food, which was fully catered by the park. They provided grilled hamburgers, hotdogs, fruit, potato salad, and cookies. They also had Lulu's Ice come in for the event with delicious Italian Ice. We watched the potato sack races, the egg toss, we participated in the hula hoop contest, and the kids got their faces painted. Then we took all of the kids into the amusement park and they rode the roller coaster, the carousel, the planes, and the helicopters. We also saw a huge "Enchanted Island Mascot" and it totally freaked Ellie out.
When we headed back to the party the band had begun and the kids danced with each other. They also checked out the ducks near the pond and shared popcorn. It's so wonderful to see our girls build friendships with Taylor and Colton Morris. Our girls love them so much and have so much fun hanging out with them.
After a while they had a pie eating contest (Matt volunteered Courtney from the sales team to participate on the sales team's behalf) and the girls watched with big eyes as everyone came up with whipped cream all over their faces. At the end of the night we promised the kids a train ride on our way out. Having never ridden a kid train at night it was actually pretty fun and was a great ending to our full day!
