Family Lifestyle Blog: Summer Picnic Ritual


Summer picnics have been a family favorite ever since our oldest daughter Neve was born in July 2011. Since she was a summer baby, and summers in New England are so short-lived (and precious), a stroll in Boston Common/Boston Public Garden followed by a picnic was our favorite way to spend our evenings with a newborn.

Now that she is older, she loves having a party with her friends. However, we still make a point to have a little family picnic for her birthday whenever we can.

This coming summer, the girls are psyched to go picnicking and spending relaxing evenings outdoors. We are all craving warmer weather and can’t wait until we can savor more time outside.

Packing a refreshing summer spread with the help of kids is also such a wonderful way to spend time together and make memories. We try to remember to pack board games or a deck of cards to play on the picnic blanket.

It’s always nice to enjoy a little adult time while the kids are running around entertaining themselves. A picnic can be as simple or as ‘fancy’ as you’d like it to be. The fun simply lies in tossing out that blanket and unpacking all the goodies together and spending some quality time with one another in the sunshine!
