The St. Mary Magdalen Annual picnic was on Saturday. We kicked it off with a short parade thru Brentwood. With the Hwy 40 shutdown, we had to go through the neighborhood vs. Brentwood Blvd (too much traffic). It was fun - I walked with Anna's class & Jo sat in her stroller enthralled with all the commotion.
It was then on to rides, rides & more rides. Rosie ended up feeling sick from riding one of them too much. She walked up to me with white lips, & so she promptly sat down with her head between her legs. She made it but she stayed away from that crazy ride the rest of the day.
Unfortunately, it rained from 5pm on, so the picnic ended early. It is so much work for the PTO, so it was a bummer to end early. The kids just love the picnic, and the parents have fun hanging out, chatting & drinking!

Before the parade, we are patiently waiting to walk & throw candy!

Anna with Taylor & Bridget - the theme of the picnic was Summer Sizzle. They had sand buckets full of candy, and they were very excited to throw that candy!
Here are some of Rosie's friends - Paul, Drew & Ryan. We hang out with their parents a lot. Drew loves Jo and rode one of the kiddy rides with her - it was really cute! We are so happy at St. MM - the parents are so involved & are just good people. Pete & I have made some really good friends. St. MM is very much into helping out in the community, and I can really see what an impact a Catholic education has on the kids.
