The Simplest Summer Picnic

Henry’s away this week at cousins camp, so it’s just the girls to entertain in the afternoons after work. One of the easiest ways to make it feel special is to squeeze some fresh lemonade from the ponderosa lemons in our yard, and set up a little picnic dinner. If it’s warm, we might even blow up the unicorn pool and put on our swimsuits!

Our picnics are super simple. Lemonade, fruit, bread with butter, veggies, and cheese. Maybe some leftovers. A glass of wine for Jared and I. Zero prep. No rules on what they need or how much they eat (I’ve given up trying to control what they eat). Maybe some cloth picnic games (like this DIY one from a few years back).
