The Perfect Picnic

With the warm weather upon us, why not spend a day with friends and family enjoying some outdoor fun! Local parks and nature areas offer picnic shelters which usually include a covered area, picnic tables and grilling equipment. One of the hardest parts of organizing a picnic is remembering everything so make a checklist which should include:
  • food, drinks & condiments
  • plates, cups & paper towel
  • seating & serving utensils
  • a cooler with lots of ice
  • BBQ equipment
  • garbage bags for clean-up & ziploc bags for leftovers
  • blankets and/or chairs and lots of games

Parks and other natural areas offer a great opportunity for children to have fun exploring and most will have all the amenities required to host a great event but make sure to reserve ahead of time just to be sure. If you're throwing a children's birthday party you could even plan a nature activity or treasure hunt for the younger ones. Remember your checklist and have fun!
