Every year, my company throws a huge bash for the families of its employees. It always has a theme, and costumes, and a ton of stuff to do. There are rides, games, a petting zoo, a display of birds, music, food, a TON of prizes and gifts… basically it is a carnival on crack (in the best way possible). This year the theme was “Under the Sea”. The music pumping over the loudspeakers was all “sea” type music, such as songs from The Little Mermaid. It was pretty spectacular, as usual. Harlow was a snorkeler, and I went as a mermaid.

These photos are from a few years ago, but it will give you an idea of the sheer scale of this thing!
