A great day for a picnic

We love having picnics in the park, so I thought I'd share some pictures from our latest picnic outing.


We ended up having to relocate our picnic blanket to a table because we were bombarded by biting ants.  The girls ran around chasing and feeding pigeons and afterwards we made our way to the splash pad in Tempe so the girls could cool off.  It was another hot weekend so both the park and the splash pad were littered with people... but we didn't care.

As I've mentioned in earlier posts, we LOVE the splash pad!  I think every city, especially Duluth, should have one.  It's great for both kids and parents and as you can see from the pictures... the kids love it too.

We didn't bother taking Ginger's diaper off which ended up being a huge mistake.  By the end, her diaper was as heavy as a brick and it left a big jelly mess (that we cleaned up) all over the sidewalk.  Ooops.  I thought it was pretty cute though when I caught these two walking back to the truck for a clean diaper.

I hope you all have a safe and happy Memorial Day.  Remember, it's not just a summer kickoff that includes beer, barbecues, and good company, but mostly about a day to remember those brave men and women who died serving our country.


Be safe out there!
