I grew up going on picnics. I was encouraged to enjoy picnics. But to this day, I just cannot enjoy a picnic. Maybe you find this ridiculous or appalling but I just can’t stand eating outside. There are just too many natural elements that make it impossible to enjoy a meal. I do not enjoy bugs crawling on or around me, I do not like the wind blowing things into my food, and I do not like eating in unbearable heat. I have tried time and time again to enjoy a picnic. In fact, I have had picnics all over the United States and in some foreign countries but to no avail. Today Neil and I thought it would be a good idea to try a picnic near the pond by where I work but it turned out to be a very bad idea. Bugs were out in full force, the wind was blowing, and the grass was wet. Let’s just say we finished the picnic in the car. Much more enjoyable in my opinion. Needless to say, I do not think I will be “enjoying” anymore picnics for awhile except those that you have in your living room when the weather is bad. I can handle that.

Yeah, I find that picnics are usually okay if you go all out with the food. But I agree, no picnics if there is ANY wind!!! I'm not a fan of dirt in my food. :)
I thought the picnic in Logan with Lisa and girls was nice. Did you enjoy it? The shady trees and nearby creek were wonderful. I don't remember bugs or wind.
Don't you think the picnic with Lisa & girls earlier in July was nice? We really enjoyed it. You just need a nice, shady park with nearby creek. I don't remember bugs or wind.
