Lance and I threw our 3rd Pioneer Day Picnic today. We held it @ Ponderosa Park in Sunnyvale, which is a great location because it's spacious and has plenty 'o' shade. We got there early, and had dogs and burgers hot and ready to go when the revelers arrived in the early afternoon.
Tubby McFatty came along as our party mascot, and he took his duties seriously. These duties included, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Stealing food.
2. Stealing drinks.
3. Looking really cute so people would assume he was a poor, starving stray dog, and toss tasty vittles his way.
4. Getting wrapped around trees and rocks.
5. Stealing more food.

Thanks to Team Lunny for all of their help--especially with the water balloons! Woo-Hoo!

On the lookout for abandoned hamburgers:
The Atwoods brought their fun corn-toss game, which entertained the crowd, though I still maintain this is *not* an Iowan game.

I hope Tubby McFatty refers to the handsome pup, and not the cute mom and baby girl team hanging in the shade :) Great party! It's good to see you enjoying yourself rather than sweating buckets, make-up smeared off, face beat red, hair drenched, begging people to leave as we've seen in years past. JUST KIDDING. You guys always do a fabulous job - thanks!
Ahem..Tubby McFatty is alos *not* the handsome gent in the picture near the caption. TMcF is of the 4-legged kind...
Having lived in Iowa with Kaari for many years, I would like to confirm the fact that corn tossing is not anything anyone does in Iowa. Cow tipping on the other hand.....
