A Midsummer's Day Picnic

My company's annual picnic was this past Saturday. We went despite the rain. It poured the whole trip out to the day camp where the picnic was hosted. But just as we arrived, the rain surprisingly subsided, and within an hour or two the sun came out and shone for the remainder of the event albeit through cloudy skies. It was a pleasant affair with food and drink and the activities of the day camp available to us (and everyone else who's companies were having their picnics that day as well). There were paddleboats, a moonbounce and slide, a miniature train, playgrounds, sports fields, go-carts and more! The kids had fun, and we left before they got too tired, so the day ended well.

That's great! We only got a boat trip on Vltava, the main river of Prague. I think I should talk to my boss - I want go-carts too!

The go-carts were definitely a highlight. :) The track was small so they only had two carts running, and there was such a queue that they told us we'd get to drive fewer laps than previous drivers. However, we were so quick to get strapped into our cart that they let us drive laps while the track supervisors readied the second cart's driver and passenger. The result: we got more laps than anyone else! Yay!
