Wildman’s elementary school hosted a family BBQ a couple of weekends ago. The PTO held a poster contest to advertise the event. The photo above is the winning design. It will be put on next year’s family BBQ t-shirts.
Fun contests and entertainment filled the afternoon from noon to 4 PM. When we arrived we bought our tickets and headed to the food pavilion to have lunch!
After we had sufficiently stuffed ourselves with everything from hot dogs and pizza to cookies and watermelon, we decided to check out the raffle baskets and silent auction items. Each grade collected money and put together a themed basket to raffle off. Tickets were $1 apiece and you could put as many tickets as you wanted into the drawing for the baskets. Kindergarten did a Lego theme. It was adorable! Sadly, we did not win a single thing…
J took the kids to the playground while I went to photograph the watermelon-eating and jump rope contests. My boys were hot and tired from their morning t-ball game and refused to participate in any of the contests… Oh, well. I understand that.
I joined everyone back at the playground after I’d taken a bunch of pictures. The kids were even more hot and tired by that point so we decided to call it a day. We ended up taking the boat out for what ended up being one of the most pleasant island trips we’ve ever had. I so wish I had brought my camera…
