Picnic in the Park

The kids had their first picnic today! I met a friend of mine and her children at the Frisco Park (which is a great little park that I never knew of!) and we had a picnic, walked down to the pond to see and feed the fish then headed up to the playground for some fun. I had brought the kids' beach toys and turned them loose in the sand. Abby mostly ate it, but Jake played a bit in it. He didn't want to venture too far. Abby on the other hand wouldn't stay put. She was off in every direction.
I also wasn't too sure how we'd do at eating since we'd just be eating on the blanket, but they did pretty good. A bit messy, but good. I just sat their plates in front of them and turned them loose. They dumped their plates, ate out of each others, and even sat in each others food. But they did eat most everything. We all had a lot of fun and the kids got a little sun. Their cheeks and noses are a bit pink. I should have put sunscreen on them I guess.
I was worried this morning that it might be too cold for a picnic, but once we got their, the weather was perfect. You couldn't of asked for a better day.
Once we got home it was time for their afternoon nap. I think they had so much fun that they really didn't want to go to sleep because they really only slept for about 20 minutes after they played in their cribs for over an hour! Oh well, we may be going to bed early tonight if they start to get really fussy. :-)
