Company Picnic

On Saturday, OCP (my employer) held the annual company picnic at Oaks Park, a delightful little amusement park in Southeast Portland.

Immediately upon our arrival, Will demanded that we go on the ferris wheel. So we did.

One of my co-workers was doing face painting. So the Petersons got kitty faces. This was especially amusing when we went to the grocery store after the picnic. I mean, who wouldn't want to see a family of kitties buying produce?

Here's Will trying to figure out this hula hoop business.

I gave it a try, too. And it turns out, I'm really good at hula hooping. Who knew? It was excellent timing, too. All of the OCP head honchos happened to be looking and were appropriately amazed at my skills. I'll be shocked if I don't get a promotion on Monday.

Scarlett's birthday party

Will's friend Scarlett turned two a few weeks ago. She invited Will and some other friends to Fernhill Park for a party.

Will and the birthday girl get busy with some juice boxes.

Drunk on juice boxes.

Obviously, he was too juice drunk to drive. I mean, look at him.

The Whale Slide

Will splashes down the slide in his pool in an action shot taken early this summer.

Out for a walk

We took a few pictures of Will when we all went out for a walk.

He always likes to stop and check out this car. I see an ill-advised mid-life crisis purchase in his future.

What a weirdo.

This morning, I said to Will, "You look especially cute today. Is it okay if I take some pictures of you on the bench before we go to school?" And Will said, "YEAH!" Here are the results.

And then it just got silly.
