Family Picnic

The week before my accident 

we went for a family picnic

 to enjoy the unusual 

80 degree weather

we have been having.

Of course I did not check the

 weather the day before 

 after promising a picnic to the kids

and the extra warm weather was over. 

But we still had a good afternoon.

I am now especially glad we 

went ahead and had the chilly

picnic because it was probably my last at 

the park until summer. 

We had turkey and cheese sandwiches 

and I cut them in

triangles. 

Nixon's exact words were

"Mommy, your the best cook ever!" 

(somehow cutting sandwiches into

triangles make them taste better) 

 Jared tossed goldfish into 

Roman's and Isla mouth. 

They enjoyed being introduced to 

the new game as much

as he enjoyed hitting them 

in the face with food.

It was Lottie's 1st picnic!

She slept the ENTIRE time.

We played hopscotch...

and other games around the park. 

Roman was just excited to

run around!

 

We walked down to the 

lake to feed the ducks!

Roman loved the ducks and birds!

Nixon was scared and stayed with Lottie! 

Daddy Picture!

I tried getting a mommy

picture, but they would not

cooperate.

 Jared ended up taking Lottie to the

 car because of the wind.

The girls wanted to 

model for the camera.

(I promise I did not stage this, 

they love to make expressions

and see themselves on camera) 

Happy Face

Sad Face

Mad Face

Surprised Face

Silly Face

I'm not too sure

about these two??

Roman let me snap one picture!

We ended the picnic 

with kids climbing on tree stumps.

(it doesn't take much to entertain them)

We had a fun family afternoon. 

I look forward to many

 picnics this summer.

(I might just have to have a few 

in the living room before then)
