I love picnics!

So last weekend I decided to go on a picnic. Seriously, what better way to enjoy a sunny afternoon! Calgary has some truly beautiful areas that are perfect for picnics like Prince’s Island Park or the Glenmore Reservoir. I love to make lists to make sure that I don’t forget things. For picnics I found that the essentials are:

- Ice pack
- Bottle of water
- Cups, plates, utensils (I brought real dinnerware instead plastic – feels fancier!)
- Cutting board (this doubled as my serving tray)
- Sharp knife
- Napkins
- Blanket to sit on
- Basket
- Magazine to catch up on fashion trends and celebrity gossip


We just kept our picnic menu simple and fun with some sandwiches, fruit, and then cheesecake for dessert. I’m thinking next time it would be fun to pick a theme like French (baguette, cheese, fruit) or Greek (hummus, pita bread, olives, veggies). I forgot how much I love picnics and can't wait for the next one.
