Perfect Picnic Weather

These past few weeks have been perfect picnic weather here in Fairbury. In fact, it's been so perfect that we had picnics three days in a row!

Thursday, July 25, was Dad's birthday and he choose to have pizza in the park to celebrate! It was a beautiful evening for a picnic, and then walking/rollerblading after supper!

 Happy Birthday Dad!! We love you! 

That whole week Jared and Lily had swimming lessons, and we decided it would be great to all go and have a picnic one of the days. We choose Friday and Mom even saw that Subway had buy one get one free that day - everything was going to be perfect!
Well...Friday was a drizzly, raining sort of day, with probably a high of 65 degrees - and Mom was wrong; custumer appreciation at Subway was the next week! But, we made the best of our day, and swam anyway and then settled for an indoor picnic with friends we met who were also taking swimming lessons!

On Saturday, there was an outdoor play in Bloomington of the Secret Garden! We went a little earlier for a picnic, and took our friend Helga who is visiting from Hungary this summer. She came to work at Fairview Haven to practice her English and we were really glad to get to know her!  It was a nice family evening, although the play didn't quite follow the story line - and it was actually pretty cold!

What a lovely day it is

To have our lunch outside

Let's take a little picnic

To eat by the riverside

What shall we put in it?

A sandwich, fruit and pop

Now all we need to do

Is find a nice place to stop

Sitting at the riverside

A picnic laid out in the sun

A wonderful little picnic spot

Where we'll have lots of fun

Soon it's time to leave the place

It's time to pack away

But we'll come back tomorrow

It's been such a lovely day.
