company picnic...

yesterday afternoon we headed out hovander park in ferndale (our favorite!) for our company picnic. WRS is definitely a 'family' friendly company. ryan and billy do such a great job of making their employees feel valued. i know that from not only what i observed yesterday but also from the comments i heard. they always open up their partys with prayer. something i'm sure most company's don't do. i am so proud of them for not caring if some may be offended, they stand my their convictions and beliefs. they are known for being an honest, ethical company. so many appreciate that.

the day was filled with tons for the kids to do! face painting, cotton candy, a bounce house, the dunk tank which rye took a turn at. our boys wasted no time in lining up to soak dad. (which they did!:)) i'll also post the picture of some of his guys also waiting their turn, sharing their strategy's. later in the afternoon, the local (and now getting famous around the world) magician, Sterling, came and did a show. rye was nominated to be part of the act. hesitantly, he agreed and was such a good sport about it. i'll try and post some of the video.
after the picnic, we were invited to billy and joann's (our partners) house. they have a beautiful yard, and a wonderful,in-ground pool, which they keep at a cool 88 degrees! :) the boys had a blast while us adults sat by the fire pit and chatted. a nice ending to a fun day!
