SWRI Picnic Sept. 27

While we're here, Dave is working at the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in Division 16. That's only important because there was a Division 16 picnic last Saturday, at a big park just north of town. They had food and lots of kids' games. It was good to meet the guys (yes, mostly guys - they are electrical engineers, after all) that Dave works with, and for Katie to see other kids. She was the smallest walking kid there, so she got first crack at the little kids' pinata (they were lined up by size). Needless to say, she didn't do any damage to Cookie Monster.

All the kids got to choose a door prize -- Dave and I were very proud of our little girl choosing a rubber dinosaur! It is pink with purple spots, but still... And Katie can say "triceratops", which caused many jaws to drop all afternoon. I got a SwRI t-shirt, so now I have San Antonio souvenir. She also did pretty well throwing beanbags into the hole. I think she liked throwing something without chastisement!
