Alien Work Party!

This past Saturday was LL's work party.  They always do a picnic at Knoebels, and each year is a different fun theme.  This year was an outer space/alien theme.  It was so fun to walk up to the pavilion and find it transformed into outer space! We each got an awesome rocket ship goody bag filled with alien swag, which the kids wasted no time trying out.

 

First up, the alien hats!

(Trey's face in this picture cracks me up! He looks so mad! But he actually liked his hat.)

 

But a hat wouldn't be complete without alien sun glasses:

 

And I got a light-up alien eye headband to go along with my sunglasses:

 

And then Collette found pink alien eyes, and decided those were right up her alley.

 

See? I told you Trey liked his hat! :)

 

Here is some of the awesome décor! We won an inflatable baby alien of our very own.

 

After lunch, we went on a few rides.  It is so nice that Knoebels is free, and you just pay for the rides you want, so we never feel bad just doing a few rides and then getting kids home for naps.  :)

 

The Whip is always a huge hit. :)

 

The Ribbit is Collette's favorite ride. 

She's not big enough to ride it alone so LL gets the pleasure of going with her.

 

Trey liked the Carousel but was getting so tired!

He looks likes he's about to fall asleep in this picture.

 

Riding Ole Smokey, the steam engine train. :)

 

The alien fun didn't end at Knoebels, though.  Collette woke up from her nap and decided she needed her Strawberry Milk in her new alien cup:

 

And she has been having a blast playing with the "Galaxy Slime" that was in her bag.

She discovered that if she puts it through a medicine syringe, it makes lovely snakes and worms. :)

 

We are so blessed for LL to have such a positive and fun-loving work environment!
