ExxonMobil Company Picnic

We look forward to the picnic every year. Exxon always rents out Blue Bayou Water Park for the yearly picnic. We have not missed a year yet and we were really excited about this year b/c Tyler is old enough to play in the kiddie area. The kids area is huge and they have a bunch of water slides coming off of the pirate ships. Oddly enough, we (Tyler, me, Phe & Ryan) had a blast in the children's area. We rode many of the adult water slides too but for me and Philip, watching Tyler have so much fun was a wonderful experience. You could see his imagination running wild. He smiled from the second we got there until he passed out in the car.

The green slide was the fastest of the slides so Tyler would get really excited when he would realize we were going to the fast one.

At the end of the slides the water current was very strong. If Tyler didn't pay full attention he would lose his balance and fall. Tyler was determined to make it all the way to the end of the slide.
Tyler & I taking a quick "photo" oppportunity.

Tyler & Philip after sliding down the water slide. Tyler & Philip in an "action" shot. The tan slide was really big but slow. At one point Philip had to push themselves off b/c they had stopped in mid-slide.
Tyler had just fallen and was trying to be happy and not pout.
Tyler fell asleep as we were buckling him into his carseat. Poor baby was exhausted. He didn't have a nap the entire day & we left Blue Bayou @ 3:30.
Now, I mentioned that my brother Ryan was with us, well that goofy boy would duck out of picture we would try to take b/c he is a weirdo - you know how teenagers are. Fortunately, when you enter the park they had people with polaroid camera's taking polaroids of everyone so I DO have ONE picture with Ryan in it. I will add it to the post tomorrow.
