Family Fun Picnic

[dannyzmom]

Today, my AD and I threw a Family Fun picnic at my house for our clusters. It was a HUGE hit!
Everyone was asked to bring a dish of some sort (side dish or desserts...the director team provided the meat)
We had a water-balloon toss for the kids, a bubble-gum bubble-blowing contest for the DH's...it was so much fun!
It was nice for all the kids to meet & play and especially for the DH's to meet and get to know one another...and I think it'll be great for NC morale as it is easier to travel with people not only YOU are comfy with...but your DH and kids like, too, kwim?
I made a slide-show of all the photos...if you'd like to see 'em, email me!

I tried to do a family BBQ last summer, but almost everyone had some wierd family trouble that do. We ended up with a total of three families including mine. And the consultants that did make it are my hosp. Oh well, we had fun.

I was REALLY worrying that we'd have lousy turn out - but between my team and my AD's team, we had I think 9 families (that includes mine and AD's and one hospitality) It was a big crowd...we had each family sign up to bring a dish so I think that helps to make people feel committed as they know we're counting on them for something...

We did sign ups too, but it was just wierd stuff. Like the gal that was supposed to bring hamburgers couldn't come because her DH sat on a knife and they had to go to the ER!

I'm glad yours turned out so well. I'm sure we will try it again.

That sounds like a lot of fun! Think I will do that later on or maybe in the fall, possibly with a recipe-slam. :)
