Amazon Picnic

So Saturday I had my Amazon work party picnic. It was pretty amazing:) Amazon rented the whole Century Link Field/Arena in Seattle and so after I finished work on Saturday morning, we headed up. We got free parking with my work badge to park in the parking garage (keep in mind there was a Mariners game the same day so it was pretty crazy down there) but when we got there and got inside they gave us tickets for t-shirts for the adults and Dallas and then toys for the younger kids. We walked straight down to the field and the Mike told the kids to pretend they were running it in for a touchdown. They didn't want to pose for a picture but it is cool knowing that we got to go and hang out there in a professional stadium even if it's the home of the Seahawks. We walked all the way to the top of the stadium where there weren't as many crowds and got some lunch. They had all the food stands open so you could go and get whatever you wanted to eat: some of the things we tried were papa johns pizza of course, bbq pulled pork sandwiches-Mike said this was his favorite, chicken teriyaki sticks and curried rice and veggies, cheeseburgers, cotton candy, kettle corn, ice cream, soda, yeah we were pigs:) hahaha I had wanted to try the Ivars fish and chips but missed those dangit:( lol They also had lots of stations with crafts, activities for the kids, rides, etc. Some of the lines were long so we had to pick and choose carefully. The boys waited in line to ride the Gravitron. Mike was afraid he would get sick since he gets motion sickness but the boys talked him into it and he actually did okay. Elijah just barely made the height limit but by the end of the ride was screaming STOP! He'd had enough. We found a lot shorter line for the spinning cars which I went on with the rest of the boys-Mike went ahead and sat that one out:) Then we went over to the craft stations and made pinwheels and slime. Dallas and Brandon got airbrushed designs on their arms. Brandon and Elijah also made hulk masks and won posters and comic books from Radio Disney there. I wish we had gotten there earlier then we did so we could've let the kids do more fun things like the bounce houses and some of the picnic games. Maybe next year. *On a side note, my sister and her husband Nick were working at the party. They were actually at the Pinwheel station. Nicks sister got them the job for some extra cash that day. My sister was told that they forked out about 1.6 million for the festivities that day.
