Summer is the perfect time to go on a picnic with your family or turn it into a date night with your spouse! Here are a few ideas on how to have a fabulous picnic!
Picnics can be a great time to relax and have some special time with your family. You can escape the pressures of work and home and just focus on being together. Here is a list of must haves for a family picnic:
Hopefully this list will help you remember what to pack for a perfect family picnic. This is a great way to reconnect as a family if life has been stressful lately. Take some time to relax and focus on what matters most - your family!
One of the most memorable dates with my husband was a picnic. We weren't married yet and were both still in college. We went to different colleges that were a couple of hours apart. (This was 20 years ago, so we didn't have all of the technology of today that made staying connected easier!) I made the drive to visit him and he had everything planned and packed. We went to a park and he unpacked the cooler full of goodies. We ate and just sat and chatted. It was a great way for us to catch up after not seeing each other for a few weeks. He even ended the night with a horse drawn carriage ride near the park. It was a date I will never forget!
Dates don't have to be big nights out on the town. Sometimes, something simple is truly the best. You will still need all of the things in the list above, but you can add a few things to make it a little more special for the two of you. If you have a special dessert that the two of you love, fix it and enjoy. Take a couple of pillows so you can be comfy while you picnic. Take your favorite drinks. You can even throw in a couple of candles if you'd like (just maybe take a small tray so that they can set on a firm surface and not tip over). Instead of playing a game of catch (although go for it if you both enjoy it), print out a list of questions that you can ask each other. You can find many, many lists for married couples online. This is a great way to keep learning about your spouse! Just take the time to be together!
Picnics are simple and fun and should be done a lot more often in my opinion! Keep it simple if you'd like or glam it up! Picnics can become whatever you'd like them to be! Just remember to enjoy the moment!
