An Evening at the Farm

When I got the email announcing an employee appreciation event at Grant’s Farm, I surprised myself by wanting to go!  I typically steer clear of all work sponsored activities.  See, I don’t really like people that much.  Sure, I’m really good at my job and one of the things that makes me really good at my job is the way I communicate with people.  But in a social setting, I prefer to be with just one or two close friends.  I don’t care to mingle or make small talk.  Which is why I usually avoid these types of events.

But two things sucked me in.

First, Grant’s Farm.  I love Grant’s Farm!  Plus the kids and I hadn’t been all year.  And we have never been there in the evening.  This seemed like the perfect time to go.

Secondly, and probably most importantly, FREE BEER and FOOD!  Yes, that’s right.  Beer.  All you care to drink beer.  And anytime I don’t have to buy and cook a meal for the family is a win.

So, I made the reservations and we went. 

We actually saw nothing of Grant’s Farm besides the beer garden.  I was too late (probably because I was drinking free beer) to get Layla on the carousal, but she got over it pretty quickly.  Instead, we hung out in the beer garden, ate dinner and several servings of Dippin Dots and danced a little to the band.

It was a really fun time!  I ran into a few people that I knew, but mainly just tried to avoid eye contact with everyone.

I was really happy that we decided to do this.  It was a new experience and a beautiful evening at the farm.
