These were the sandwiches I made for our picnic. Notice the basil. It was picked fresh from my own basil plant. I felt like such an amazing homemaker going outside and picking a few leaves...haha!
Our boys are not afraid in the least to explore and wonder off. It kept us quite busy. We had a blast, but to say it was a relaxing picnic would not be true=) It would have been really nice to have a fence around our blankets. Here is Shep (14 mo) contemplating his escape route.
The cookie was a ploy to get him to stay on the blanket. 
Notice, another cookie...
An attempt at a family picture.
Take 2...not as successful. 
It was all worth it to see the wonder in their eyes. The boys LOVED it. Shep just kept pointing and saying, "Woah!!"
I convinced them that if they laid back in the stroller they could see the fireworks better...haha! Conner kept saying, "Mama, look at that one!!"
"Wooaaahhh!!"
Happy 4th of July!!
Sweet pictures. I love the cookie ploy, haha.
ReplyDeleteThat sandwich looks absolutely amazing, and I'm inspired to have a basil plant now. :)
I bought the plant at Whole Foods for the same price it costs to buy fresh basil at the grocery store. Basil is so expensive and now I can just go out a pick a few leaves whenever I want!!=)
