Great day for a picnic

We ate al fresco today.

The girls have both become quite fond of having picnics. We have done a bunch over the last year. Kevin and I always crack up because we will usually bring 3 small bags of chips and they will all end up on Emma's lap because she hoards them :)

Today it was just me and my girls and no chips but it was still heavenly. What is it that makes eating turkey and cheese on a blanket outside so much better than having it at the table? Is it that fresh air can boost our appetite? Or maybe all the running and sliding and swinging expends are energy? Or maybe just the glory of doing something "special" and different. Sitting in the open air with those we love and enjoying all God's beauty. It is peaceful on that blanket in the shade with birds and the wind providing the ambience.

I think we'll do it again tomorrow.
