Sam's Company Picnic @ George Ranch Historical Park 2012

Service Corporation International ("SCI") treated their Finance Group and their families to the Second Annual Company Picnic at George Ranch Historical Park http://georgeranch.org/ on Sunday April 6th, 2012. The employees of Finance, Treasury, Tax, and Risk Assurance Advisory Services enjoyed an afternoon with their friends, families, and coworkers. CFO Eric Tanzberger and his wing man Marco Rimasso MC'ed the event.

The events and activities included; a mechanical bull, pony and donkey rides, armadillo races, a hot box with branding irons to brand the company logo, a chance to lasso a mechanical calf, and tours of the 480 acre historic property and it's buildings complete with tour guides in period dress. Of course Granddad Hopkins and I("Sam") also managed to find the poker table for a few hands.

Josiah really enjoyed the pony rides and probably went on half a dozen rides. As you can see in the video above he is really loving it. After all the fun and games we settled down for an old fashioned hay ride (see below) that took us through the historical property, we stopped at a few of the buildings for tours and the kids really enjoyed exploring and seeing the sites.

Thank you to Eric Tanzberger and Tammy Moore of SCI for making this happen, our family had a great time.

School Girl

Dancing Girl

Naomi loves to dance! On the night of her big spring recital we forgot her shoes. So she is wearing shoes from girl in another class. With all of the drama that went on in the search for some dance shoes.....this little girl didn't miss a beat. So proud of her.
