Ward Breakfast

Our ward had a breakfast for Pioneer Day.  Chris was key in helping to plan and organize it.  To make things simple, breakfast burritos were ordered from a local restaurant (Santiagos), and fruit and drinks were provided.  Ward members were invited to bring chairs and blankets to sit on and some kind of shade structure if wanted.  As people began to settle in with their plates of food, the telltale sound of sprinklers turning on could be heard and a mad scramble away from the sprays of water ensued.

Some people moved to dry areas where the sprinklers were inactive and settled in again, the food table was re-situated, and other families crowded under the pavilion.  Someone used our small plastic table as a guard against one of the poorly placed sprinkler heads.  Who turns on sprinklers mid-morning?  Don't these people know that watering is better in the early morning hours?  Apparently not.

And twenty to thirty minutes later, the next zone turned on.  All those in the line of fire (or water) had to make a quick scramble again.  Fortunately it didn't take away from the good conversations as well as the fun for the kids.
