Company picnic was a blast!
It was the perfect day for a perfect picnic......
August 22, 2008
Castlewood State Park - The day was perfect, the food incredible, the fun didn't stop.
If you missed our annual NetEffects picnic this year, you missed a great family party and the opportunity to meet with old friends, and make new friends.
For the kids, there was a magician, the bean bag toss, ring toss, a sand pit where the kids dug for hidden treasure, badminton, a piñata with lots and lots of candy (you should have seen the kids go at it!) and much more. It was non-stop fun for the kids, and maybe a little "tiring" for mom and dad, but just watching them laugh and play is all one could want.
For the adults, there was sparkling conversation (to say nothing of the great drinks), cricket and badminton, catered international cuisine from around the world to match the diversity of our company and old fashioned American barbeque, all topped off by some incredible La Bonne Bouchee French pastries.
And for those interested in the water, our location near a tributary to the Meramec allowed for a little cooling off at the water's edge.
And to play it safe, NetEffects had plenty of sun block and bug spray on hand "just in case".
The party went from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., but many families stayed on to enjoy the summer afternoon and continue the great camaraderie everyone found in abundance.
Now all we have to do is sit and wait for next year's picnic!
