2012 MOPS Season Kick Off Event - Sea Bash

We had such a fantastic kick off event at our first MOPS event of this season and those of you who couldn't come really missed out on a fantastic get-together. We had many new moms and moppets join us!

The team definitely did a great job decorating the place, we really felt like we were at the beach.

These moms look ready to dive in.

We had a fun skit by the MOPS team encouraging each of us to step out of our comfort zone and to 'Take the Plunge'.

Our precious MOPPETs visiting with us!
