Today we did a rare and lovely thing at work: we had a relaxing team building activity! Our fearless leader, Craig, loves to barbecue and smoke meat, so he decided to cook for our team and have a traditional cookout.
My friend Maggie, who is a party planner extraordinaire, put together the side dishes, and we got out some lawn games the company had.
The day was perfect! Everyone had a delicious meal, then we tried all the games.
It was so nice to see the group relaxing and chatting. It reminded me of paintings of the past, with people picnicking and playing croquet or something.
The highlight of the day was when Maggie and our colleague Jon started game of big Jenga. As the stack of blocks grew taller and taller, more of the team gathered around. The stack would wobble, but keep growing!
More than once, we declared that HAD to be the end, but no! Maggie and Jon were really steady and smart.
When it finally fell, we erupted in cheers! Dipu got a Live Photo, and the one below is from it!
I wish we could all have a pleasant break from the work day in the spring when it’s neither hot nor cold. I’m so grateful to our group at work for pulling this off.
