National Picnic Day

Did you know that today is National Picnic Day?

So FROG Reviews and Ramblings decided it was a perfect time to encourage you to grab the kids and family, and go find your favorite place to enjoy some precious time!!

A picnic can be an elaborate well planned thing with lots of home made goodies , or something simple you pick up on the way.   The key to me when I think of a picnic is just to get out and enjoy some well deserved time with your kids and/or grand kids!!!

I plan to celebrate the day with my granddaughters , kids and hubby.  (of course our “Fur Babies)    Sadly, based on our local weather forecast, we may have to have an indoor picnic, but the meaning will still be the same!  I am thinking a blanket on the floor, for the kids , and since Nana and Papa aren’t really able to get on the floor much these days, we may have to enjoy our “picnic” from the nearby couch or chair.   Family time and relaxation!!

A LITTLE HISTORY ON  PICNICS:

As I said earlier, there are a ton of ways to plan a picnic, but it basically dates back to mid-18th-century al fresco French dining when all you needed was a bottle of wine, a loaf of bread, some cheese and fruit and you could have a party under the sky.  I can easily envision that bottle of wine right about now!!

I would love to see your pictures via your social media pages with the hashtag, #NationalPicnicDay.

Let me know below if you were able to plan a special picnic time with your kids/grandkids/ family!!   I love hearing feedback from my followers!!!
