A Picnic in the Park with Sisters Place Families

The summer rain clouds are passing overhead,
but moving on without even a sprinkle to dampen the fun of:

inventing a spontaneous game involving kicking a ball over a net –

boy kicking ball

blowing bubbles –

Mom showing toddler how to blow bubbles toddler and sister blowing bubbles

painting faces –

playing board games–

and bingo

keeping a watchful eye on the toddlers –

And then

trumpters

just as everyone is beginning to get really really hungry,

food truck

the Blaine Hill B.B.Q. truck arrives, bringing everything anyone ever looked forward to eating at a picnic – PLUS the promised deep-fried French Fries! Many of the moms and staff members have also brought picnic foods, including the sweet desserts kids and adults alike reach for.

The surprise of the afternoon is that the good people at Blaine Hill have not just donated all the food. They've also brought along a Moon Walk tent, which they quickly set up and which is soon filled with bouncing children! We are all so grateful for their generosity!

The Moon Walk is ready

And let us not forget the much anticipated climax of the picnic: the annual awarding of trophies and medals honoring each child's specific accomplishments during the just completed summer camp.

"Congratulations, kids. We are all very very proud of you!"
