CVM Picnic

Today, Sunday, we went to the CVM (Cardiovascular Medicine)Picnic at Fejuary Park (sp?) in Davenport. It was a beautiful day, lots of sun shine and a great cool breeze. Lunch was catered by Reifee's. We had grilled chicken, potato salad, cole slaw, broccoli salad, baked beans, BBQ pork sandwiches, and brownies. I got attack by a locust during lunch and got creeped out by that. There were lots of people I knew and of course a lot more that I didn't know. Dave says I need to get a tattoo so that I fit in better, in that case I would also need to acquire some brown kids (as Riley would put it) too. I caught up with some old friends from when I worked at CVM years ago, everyone ooo'd and aaah'd over the kids. Riley was five months old when we moved from Davenport to Traverse City.
We went to the petting zoo. There was a pregnant goat there who looked miserable, she could hardly walk. Lots of tom turkeys, chickens and roosters (who crowed very frquently), geese, and a couple of huge hogs, Elk, Wolves, Water Buffalo or something like that and the reptile house. There was a clown there who painted the kids faces and did balloon animals and objects. Cheyenne got a lady bug painted on her face, I was surprised she sat there and didn't move. Riley and Cheyenne both got balloon animals. No pictures to show. I forgot to take the camera, I was very irritated with myself. I always have the camera. But we had a good time.
