I took LD out for a picnic in a teeny little park the other day and it was a lot of fun.

Nitrate-free, uncured turkey sandwiches, Pirate Booty, fresh blueberries and yogurt juice.

We made flower bracelets, took turns throwing and chasing a floaty white feather and read a few books. It was all very idyllic until I said it was time to pack up and go home. Then it was a huge temper tantrum and explosion. He REALLY liked the one on one time with no one else at the park and no playground to distract him. Or he was tired and unbendable.

Looking at these pictures of the during totally make it worth the battles at the end of our excursions. We'll miss summer but I'm sure there's lots of fun to be had in the fall too.
