Jason's 1st Annual Company Picnic

Last Saturday Jason hosted Mirror Landscape's first annual company picnic. Most of his employees and their families were able to join us at Camp Emmaeus for a cookout and lots of fun games. Jason bought lots of prizes for people of all ages.
There were soccer balls, footballs, fishing gear, jewelry, t-shirts, hats, pool stuff, lots of candy, an airsoft gun....
squirt guns, jump ropes, camping chairs, coloring books, nerf guns, bubble guns, games, more candy, toys, and much more!

Jason had a few games for the guys to try. One was the Toro Challenge where they had to drive the mower around and see how much trash they could pick up in 60 seconds.

Isaac had to get in on the fun, but without driving the mower of course!


I think Jordan won this contest with 18 pieces of trash picked up in 60 seconds.



There were two things everybody was looking forward to the most. One was the prizes and the other was swimming!

There were approximately 48 people in attendance and everyone came away with something fun.


Waiting for your name to be called..."Oo, pick mine, pick mine!"

Kaleb and one of the little Haas girls won the bubble guns. They really had fun filling the air with thousands of little bubbles!


While we waited for the pool to open a couple of games of volley ball were played.


The younger ones (and some of us adults!) played at the park.

I lost track of how many times I helped Kaleb climb those stairs and slide down - he was ready to keep going, but I was too tired!



Yay - time for swimming!

The diving board was definitely popular, especially with the guys. They kept trying different flips and ways to make the biggest splash. It took Jason a while to work up the nerve to try a back flip!

Kaleb loved the water and was very good about keeping his cast up so it wouldn't get wet.


Air time!







I love Isaac's scream in this clip!

Everyone had a great time, and I couldn't help being proud of my brother for all that he has done with his company. God has really blessed his business!

Looks like you had a lot of fun. But that is not surprising. If the event was planed by the Hemmer clan, you can bet that it will be fun.
