Bring Your Kids To Work Day 2013

Last Thursday was Bring Your Kids to Work Day at GiftCards.com. Yaeli and I had been looking forward to it all week and the day did not disappoint (Sophie came too but she doesn't know where she went). Traffic that morning was quite bad but we got there around 8:15. Breakfast went until 9 so we had plenty of time and we weren't eating the bacon and eggs anyway. As soon as we came in we picked up the kids badges:

and headed off to my desk to put our things down. After that we went down to the breakfast and everyone glommed onto Sophie. Yaeli was incredibly shy for most of the morning so we sat at our own table during breakfast.

The kids were split up into groups after breakfast, older than 6ish and younger than 6ish. We had different activities spread out across the building including: security demonstration with our security guard, card matching game with some of our secondary gift cards, a QA activity that involved finding the differences between two almost identical pictures, skype set up between two different floors, chalk coloring on the sidewalk outside, writing on our whiteboard walls with dry erase markers and several more activities I'm sure I'm forgetting.

Anyway, the consensus over the days since is that this was the best planned and executed BYKTWD in recent history at GiftCards.com. I am very proud to have been on the planning committee and really glad Yaeli and Sophie both had a lot of fun.
