A couple of weekends ago we attended the Malcolm Drilling picnic and they couldn't have picked a better place for the kids.  It was at a park on the beach and beyond the food and adult themed raffle giveaways for the adults (which we happily won some Dodger tickets) there were oodles of activities for the kids.  The play structure was massive and pirate themed so that was the first stop for the day.

These two were inseparable.

When they tired of the play set we moved along to have our faces painted.  The face painter kept wanting to paint princesses on the girls but much to her dismay, neither wanted it.  Instead we got a kitty, a pirate (Jake, the pirate to be exact), and Heath was none other than Spiderman.

Ahoy matey.

Dessert from the cotton candy machine followed by homemade ice cream sandwiches.

Back to the play area.

We tired of round two at the play area just in time for the games.  This couldn't any better of a set up.  Regardless if you won or lost, anyone who played got a prize and we left with an armful of prizes given the kids wanted to play in every single competition.

Closing out the day running in the water.  Note to all:  ocean waves and face paint do not mix and our boy Heath is a shining, messy example.
