For the Birds
Daily Photo
The Indianapolis Klipsch picnic was held on Saturday in our back parking lot, which may sound a little hokey but is actually an excellent location with the fairly dense woods (well, dense for inside I-465) surrounding it. The activities were numerous: bouncy-house contraptions, basketball game, face-painting, caricature drawings, excellent live music, prizes-o-plenty, tours of engineering (Steven was all about the anechoic chamber), and bean-bag toss.
One of my favorite activities this year, however, was the assembling of birdhouses with scrap wood from our woodshop, coordinated and assisted by Larry--director of mechanical engineering--pictured below (center). The kids loved it, no major thumb injuries were incurred, and when all seven houses were assembled, they were hung around the perimeter of the parking lot, ready for homeless birdies to nest. No batteries required.
