"Last year, my employer held our company picnic inside at an ice skating rink. Staying inside for a summer picnic seemed silly, but I had no idea how silly it would get! We all put on our ice skates – some of us for the first time – and had an absolute blast! Our families were invited and any time kids get a chance to laugh at their parents (or parents at their kids) it’s unforgettable. My son still reminds me of the corner that I tried to take a little too fast.

"Anyway, the company picnic was a great way to involve family in a positive light. So often we are working late and our families get a tainted view of our workplaces. This company picnic was one that I, my family, and many others will never forget!"
