Fun in the Sun
Yesterday proved to be a beautiful day!! The temperatures were just right, there was a nice soft breeze and by mid-afternoon the sun had poked it’s head out of the clouds to give off some rays of sunshine!
We could not have asked for a better day for our Client Appreciation Picnic! As I write this post, I’m looking out the window at the ridiculous downpour of rain coming from the skies. Thank goodness our picnic was yesterday and the rain held off until today!
It was such a fun day! We had kiddos and parents coming and going all afternoon! I love seeing all the kiddos SO excited about everything! Not to mention all the hot, sweaty, sticky hugs I got – AWESOME!!!
Photography by Brandi blues and greens were everywhere this year!
I’m all about the goodies! This year, the goodie bags were stuffed full with lots of fun things. My two favorites: our fun, long sleeved black t-shirts, and the awesome, blue and green PhotobyB bracelets. I thought they both came out perfect and exactly like I had imagined!
Pebbles and Joey even got their own shirts this year! Unfortunately, I couldn’t figure out how to fit the bracelets on them, or else they would have been really decked out.
Devin the magician joined us again this year! He was amazing, stumping and wowing kids and adults with his comedy magic! I think I heard “what the…” and “nuh-uh” many, many times throughout the afternoon. Every time I see Devin he’s keeping me on my toes with new tricks and variations to old tricks. Devin has definitely found his calling in life!
This year we featured two bouncy inflatables from Wacky Banana. The kiddos loved them! We had the Little Red Caboose with it’s fun, crazy obstacle course, and the Basketball Moonwalk, perfect for kids of all ages. I even ran the obstacle course and climbed into the Moonwalk – once! – and that was enough!
The brand new hit of the year was our Bean Bag Toss game! Our good friend, Cory, created and built for us two bean bag toss games in our Photography by Brandi colors. They came out awesome, and were a huge hit with adults and kids of every age!
Top all that off with some food, drinks and desserts and you can’t go wrong! Two Guys and a Grill were our food specialists this year! They grilled hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken. I know the chicken was quite yummy, and I heard only great comments about the burgers. I even saw a few people head back for seconds and thirds!
My cookies were a huge hit! They were completely gone before the afternoon was even over. Not to mention, I saw many people two fisting the Rice Krispies! Despite parental wishes, I know a few kiddos out there who probably ate over a half dozen suckers.
All in all, it was an awesome day! Pete and I both had a blast. Thank you to everyone who joined us in making the day memorable and fun! Huge thank yous to our hard working assistants and helpers, we couldn’t do it without you guys!!! (Lori, Scott, Tracy and Chris!!)

Just wanted to thank you for such a lovely low key day on Sunday… the kids had a blast and all wore their shirts to bed..yes I know that’s not good advertising, they will wear them in public I promise…
When we were leaving I asked Maggie if she enjoyed her day.. she replied.. yes it was a good day.
And loved the color cordination… are you and Pete eating ice popswith every meal?? thanks again..
Hi Brandi! Its been a long time, but I enjoy keeping up with your blog&website! Sorry we missed your event, which looked like a blast! I am so glad you had a great turnout. Love the goodie bags! We hope to see you soon.
Emily, Riah and I were looking forward to the picnic but we decided to keep Riah’s ear infection and Emily’s strep throat to ourselves… We were SUPER bummed about missing it! Next time!
