Ben had a great idea today ... a spontaneous picnic in our backyard! We packed our peanut butter sandwhiches, water bottles, chips and cookies and found a nice shady spot to spread our blanket. Ben also asked if we could pick a couple of apples from our trees to eat with our lunch ... I didn't see the harm in doing so (although they are not ripe and quite tart!) Hopefully, there's not some sort of stomach issues that can develop from eating unripe apples! Anyway, that was the kids' favorite part of lunch. They both love apples and to actually be able to pick them from their own trees was just over the top exciting for them!
It was fun enjoying our lunch in the backyard and watching their excitement about actually having a picnic at home. Their enjoyment made me forget the extreme humidity, sounds of locusts in the trees above us and the spider crawling on my shirt that neither of them would help me remove! (well almost forget, anyway!)
