The Hampton Roads Chapter held it’s annual September picnic to kick off the new year for the society.\u00a0 We normally hold it at a local city park, but after coordinating for several years now, I wanted to give it a try at my own house.\u00a0 I noticed we were having more and more children coming and with a recent playground addition to my backyard, I figured I’d give it a shot.\u00a0 It turned out very well, although, as my wife\u00a0pointed\u00a0out, it was a lot of work to get our house in good enough condition to host guests, especially with 3 children of my own.\u00a0 It was worth it though as I got a lot of positive feedback and the weather held off to make it a very nice evening.\u00a0 Unlike the park, we didn’t have to leave by dusk either, which allowed us to take our time, especially when it’s more convenient for guests to work a full day and then come by.<\/p>\n
We had\u00a032 attendees, including 14 members, 10 spouses\/guests,\u00a0and 8 children between 1 and 8 years old.\u00a0 As always, we had a full menu of hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken salad sandwiches, a number of sides, some dessert, and plenty of drinks.<\/p>\n
