One thing I like to do when summer arrives is to go on a picnic with the family on a regular basis.  We had our first picnic of the season yesterday, and it was so nice.  We have a place that we like to go to that is in a park with beautiful trees and a short walk from beautiful public gardens.  During the week, it is surprising that it isn’t more busy.  There are many picnic tables for people to use, but they are rarely used.

We arrived there with our sandwiches in tow, and pasta ofcourse too.  I put the baby in the bumbo and we all sat down as a family to eat our picnic.  My oldest daughter just loves it because its something a little different than usual.

After the picnic is over, we have a walk in the park, Natara runs around and blows off some steam.  We then walk to the gardens to look at the various flowers and plants.  During this time,  I always have my camera with me and I take lots of pictures of the family by the beautiful flowers and trees.  Pictures are eternal.

Go out today and do something special as a family.  It doesn’t have to cost a lot, or anything at all.  The pay off will be priceless.
