A Picnic in the Park

We've been going on picnics lately and we are getting pretty good at it. You'd think a picnic would be a very simple thing but being the crazy lady I am I make everything a little more complex. The last few picnics have consisted of grilled chicken, homemade pasta salad, shrimp and mango ceviche w/ chips, of course wine and all the fixins...ie, straws, plates, cups, a blanket, garbage bag, cooler, sippy cup, lots of wipes, etc. It is quite the production but Jackson thinks it's great and it's a lot of fun to eat dinner in an open field. We've been ending our picnics with long walks aimed to wear Jackson out so as soon as we get home he's exhausted and it's bedtime! It's very fun, I highly recommend it!
