Our church always has their picnic on mother's day weekend and the past couple of years we have gotten pretty involved, which makes for a really fun time but also an exhausting couple of days.
My mom and dad have been heading up the Sunday school and christian education duties at our church and I can just feel for them because I know I'm tired by the time it's over with and they're the go-to guys for anything relating to kids at the picnic so their plates get pretty full! It's a really great picnic though, we sell bbq in the morning then have games for the kids, a live band, a live auction, a beer stand, a concession stand with kids toys for sale too, then in the evening they also have a hamburger stand. Colton and I have been doing the checkout for the bbq then helping with the kids games, concession and beer stand for the past couple of years but this was the first time I had to think about Korbyn. Thankfully Doug and Loranne kept her in the morning while we sold bbq then they came out and spent the day watching her, they really helped us out SO much, I don't know what I would have done if they hadn't helped...and hopefully they had a good time too :) But it's one of those days where we got there at 7:30 a.m. and didn't leave until 7:30 p.m. (Those are actually the times!), so exhausting. Korbyn did good as far as I know. It got to be pretty hot so I'm glad they have an air conditioned hall where she could go for a while and take a nap.
After Doug and Loranne left I was still working in the concession stand and Colton was still in the beer stand so I just got her bumbo and she hung out! The people in the back are actually the people making hamburgers. She was so good, even though anything in her reach was in her mouth. When we were leaving my mom said she was now a true Beisert because she spent the entire day at Loebau picnic! Which is true, I can remember growing up we literally spent all day out there. But that created some great memories and I can't wait for Korbyn to experience that. Next year should hopefully be a little easier because she'll be walking...but that'll probably be harder!
