Picnic

Ok, so we’ve been planning to have a picnic for a while now, but just had not gotten to do so. We planned it a couple of times, but for one reason or another it never occurred. We had talked about maybe having it a couple of weekends ago, but we hadn’t gotten in contact with Melly, so we just figured it was another no. Then later on that afternoon Melly called back. I told her that we wanted to have a picnic & she said yes, so we planned it right there and then, in like 5 minutes. I was out & about, but told Melly and Roland that as soon as I got back I would call them and we would take off. I did, we went to H.E.B. (our local grocery store) & bought what we needed. Then we went to the park. We laid our blankets on the ground and took out all our items for the picnic. We were the only ones actually on the ground, but that is how a picnic truly is done & that’s how we wanted to have our picnic. People did stare at us, but that did not bother us. We were truly enjoying it and we were completely relaxed. It was a beautiful day and the breeze was just perfect. Although this picnic was not planned, I don’t think we could have chosen a more beautiful day. We were not able to stay as long as we would have liked, but it was still great. We had finally had our picnic!

Smores

So another thing we recently decided to do was make a bonfire and make some smores. (This was done before we created our list) We were going to hang out one night and were wondering what we should do. We had mentioned before that we should make smores, so we figured why not. The previous nights had been cool anyway so we decided it was a good idea. We went to the store and bought everything we needed & then some. Lol. Then we got home and tried making the fire. I don’t think any of us had ever created a fire before because this was a whole lot harder than we expected. We were there forever and just could not make it. We tried adding more lighter fluid, paper, all kinds of stuff, but we just couldn’t get it. We did…eventually. I think it took us about an hour, if not more to get it started. We then let it burn for a while & started on our smores. It was then that we found out Roland had never had a smore! We were a bit surprised, especially since he had just gone along with us when we said that we should make them, so we figured he had done it before. We each had a few smores, a few drinks, chips; we basically just snacked on junk food. We then started blowing bubbles as well. A little random, I know, but why not? All in all it was a great night, even though we did get off with a slow start.
