a park picnic

A waterfront view from a picnic bench.

The weather was so lovely (read: not humid) last night, I decided to nix the pizza plan and instead pack a picnic to eat at a park.

A bolw of cucumbers.

A basket of rolls.

I think it was the right decision.

Zoe discovered that oak trees are no good for climbing.

We found a very, very hollow tree. Joshua took a really cool picture of the inside.

He took some pictures of rocks, too. Or maybe the water? I'm not sure. Love my shutterbug boy. 🙂

I started to take some pictures when we headed to the playground.

But then I realized that my camera battery was dying.

And that's sad, because I didn't get to take any pictures of the time we spent playing on the beach.

Oh well. The light was kind of stinky anyway because the sun sets on the beach side of the park.

So, of course, a morning visit to the park is in the plans, because we know I love me some beach pictures with nice light. Mmm-hmmm.

Have a lovely Sunday!

  1. Definitely a great idea! Phoebe and I went for a spontaneous picnic lunch the other day - and it was lovely!

  2. Looks lovely! Was it just you and the kids or was The Frugal Man able to attend?

    1. Just me and the kids this time, as Mr. FG wasn't home...but we plan to go back again with him soon!

  3. I love that you have a 'proper' picnic basket 🙂
    I now really fancy one of these for our picnics too. They add to the charm, I think (can't justify the expense, on a whim, but will definitely keep an eye out for a cheap/alternative 🙂

    1. That basket's day job is actually holding Zoe's white sweaters. =P But when I need something for carrying fresh rolls, I just empty it out, put a towel in it, and we're good to go.

      There's nothing as good as a basket for soft, fresh breads...they can breathe without getting smushed.

  4. It look great! Its raining two weeks lang here in the Netherlands.
    Just a great picknick inside te house 🙂 Or jumping white the rain boots outside and have fun!
