Family Day

Today was family day at Rob's work.  This is pretty special because usually we can't go there, I think this was only the 2 or 3rd time that I've seen his desk :)  First we went to work. They did a really nice job and had fun activities planned.  They had a bouncy slide and a dunk tank, hot dogs and snow cones and face painting.  Each family could take their picture with the F-35 and we got to see where the magic happens.  The weather was nice and it was fun to visit with the people I knew and the kids were impressed with his desk of course.

The cube farm is funny, it screams "nerds work here" in the best possible way. The funniest thing is actually Rob's. He has a little Ohio State Garden gnome that sits on the cabinet outside his king size cube.  Well apparently the little gnome has quite an exciting life.  He gets kidnapped and taken on adventures.  On the board under the cabinet are pinned home made books of his journeys, with photos and funny captions.  Some show him blindfolded and buckled into the seat of a car, he has travelled to Annapolis, to bars, to football games, to museums, worn Michigan gear and visited homes and hotels.  There is a little ransom note left from one time he disappeared.  No girl gnomes were pictured although he has met various other creatures and shared many a pint.

After the official fun was over we stopped at the beach and enjoyed some unofficial fun.  It was very nice out.  The water was chilly but Grace didn't mind.  The kids played in the sand and we sat in our lawn chairs watching them, watching the waves and talking.

It was a good day.
