After the birthday party, we headed out to Clinton Lake for the annual department picnic.
Anthropologists socializing
Lots of grilled food, good company, and plenty of room for the kids to run around like crazed monkeys.
Or sit like crazed monkeys, in Kaity's case...
Anne also organized a grad student vs. faculty volleyball challenge, but the grad student who promised to bring the volleyball was a no show, so we improvised. Yay for moms, like Kristie, who bring extra stuff for the kids to play with.
Missed point
Kaity subbed for me, since I wasn’t in any condition to play volleyball. She’s a great server.
Serve!
The faculty won the first game handily, but the grad students rallied and beat them in the second game.
Volleyball challenge
It was a fun way to spend an afternoon, even if I couldn’t actually play volleyball.
Proving to Hannah that the camera works
And afterwards, we stopped by the movie theatre to see Star Trek.
One of the best Star Trek movies, though I still think First Contact is my favorite.
