Farewell fun at Funtastics!

Picture
Matthew and Pearce's farewell party at Funtastics, May 2017. We had such a great time, I think this will become a classic! Between the mini golf, the go carts, and bumper boats, the most fun was probably the bumper boats where we really had a blast ganging up on Matthew and Pearce :-) They might disagree this was the most fun, though, but it's just water guys!! And all it took to completely dry off was one go cart race!

2016 Holiday Party

Picture
Charest Lab Holiday Party, December 2016. We had a fun white elephant gift exchange, with some gifts that were a lot more popular than others, as always! Also, some people didn't get the memo about the Holiday sweater theme... ;-)
