Picnic with the King of Pop

It is very fitting that to mark the tenth year we have gone to Picnic with the Pops that we had the best night ever with the King of Pop.  It was a tribute to Michael Jackson and man, was it good.  We went back to getting two tables this year and we were lucky enough to fill those tables with some great folks.  We love that this event has always centered around our FPC family with us and the Chrismans at the core.

You might have noticed our theme was black and white in tribute to one of Michael Jackson's big hits.  We also had to throw in a sparkle glove and a signature drink we called Dirty Diana.  Each person's cup had a different song title written on it, and once the music started we made sure that if your song was played you got the opportunity to have the dancing spotlight if you so desired.  This was not a problem since most people never sat down.  This year's Pops witnessed the most dancing by far.

We had a lot of cute couples in our group, and we took pictures of them all.  But we are a little biased and thought we looked good enough to share.  Plus, Sarah wore a great shirt and we never  want to miss an opportunity to share the message it bears.  And although we did not get a picture of them, we were only tables away from another group of friends who had gotten a last minute invite.  This extended our dance floor to include the Fultz's and Begleys and only expanded the fun.

Some people had songs on their cups that had a 50/50 shot of being hear.  Susan and Kelly had some pretty great odds with PYT and Bad.  Of course, Susan was rarely sitting down the whole time the music was playing, so it didn't really matter what was on her cup.  This year will definitely be tough to top.

This was the last picture of the night since the camera went out the door once the music started.  But it captures so much of what we love about this annual night out.  From the beginning the Chrismans have always led the way in making it a night to remember.
