The first week of school also coincides with one of our great annual traditions, Picnic with the Pops. This year was special because some of the original poppers back in town. Chad and Rebecca have been a part of quite a few memorable evenings, and this year they came all the way from South Carolina to enjoy the music of Queen with us a few thousand of our closest friends.
Our theme was We Are the Champions, so everyone put on jerseys or sports paraphernalia. We gathered all of Callie and Reese's medals and trophies they have accumulated over the years and used them for table decorations. All in all, we were set for a great night.
Our signature drink, Her Majesty, was a hit. It got people in the mood pretty quickly, and fortunately it was also a cold beverage because it was a very hot evening. Folks were heading to whatever shade they could in the hours before the sun went down.
Here's the whole group clustered around one of the decorations that Chris Chrisman made. As you can see we are still two tables strong. When you have such a great group of folks to hang out with, one table just isn't enough.
And as the sun set and faux Freddie Mercury began to belt out the hits, the fun really began. So many great songs and so much dancing. Who knows how we'll top it next year.
