Friday night picnic

Daddy was feeling like having a night out with the kids. It was a warm and sunny evening (woo hoo!!) and it feels like summer is really upon us. I brought home two kids that had great days each and loaded up the wagon. Monkey jumped on his scooter (oh my goodness how he loves his scooter) and Big C took to his bike with training wheels. He needs to get some practice under his belt before a birthday party on Sunday, so we were off.
Big C did great! He was a natural on the bike and pushed his legs really well. On the hills however he struggled, poor guy. Monkey, bless his heart, came to the rescue on a big hill to give him some help. Monkey has become such a wonderful older brother, it's just heart-warming. We got some essentials (bread, pistachios, blackberries and apple cider) and were off to meet mommy at the park.
We spread out our big blanket and had a wonderful time. The kids really enjoyed it and next time I'll pack a little smarter (umm, cups for the adults and things like cheese and lunch meat for the grown-ups), but I'm really looking forward to doing it again. Here I think is my new favourite photo.
