National Picnic Day
Did you know that picnics probably originated with medieval hunting parties? These outdoor feasts were originally social events for the wealthy, but eventually just came to mean eating outdoors! Don’t you think food just tastes better outdoors? I do!
So get out a big basket or cooler and get ready for some fun!
Picnic Packing List:
Salad
Fruit
Sandwiches or cold fried chicken!
Drinks
Dessert (maybe brownies or cookies)
Bug spray/sun screen
Fresh mint to repel bees
Small first aid kit
Wet wipes for hands
Napkins or paper towels for spills
Plates, cups and cutlery
A large blanket
If you are not using an insulated cooler you might want to bring ice packs for leftovers. These will also come in handy as a part of your first aid kit in the event of an accident!
Bring a camera and some entertaining activities like a kite, a great book, a crossword puzzle and pencil, a ball, etc.
Make sure not to litter. Whatever you pack in, make sure to pack out or throw away!
Or for a rainy day picnic spread a blanket in your living room and take time to do this really cute craft:
