For this challenge, I knew I wanted to do some kiddos around a picnic table, covered in a red and white checkered cloth. Of course, some animals had to get into it, wanting some of that great picnic food! What I didn't realize when I first started thinking about picnics, was how many great childhood memories would come to my mind. Hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill, corn on the cob and watermelon! My Dad making homemade ice cream with one of those old fashioned machines that you put rock salt in and turn the crank for hours.
Fishing in the lake, but never catching anything. Playing games -
lawn darts, baseball, frisbee and put putt golf. Yay for picnics, let's go have one right now!
Would you like to play along too?
