Simple Pleasure-First Picnic of the Year

 First picnic of the year!

Backyard picnics are so much fun.

 Especially when you are eating huge strawberries.

Ila May is one week old and already enjoy some fresh air!

I have taken two weeks off from work to help Kimmy.
Everyday has been something new and fun.
What a simple pleasure for me.

  13. I just love a picnic with everything tasting so much better outdoors - I wonder why that is? Anyway, I am so happy it is that time of year again. Love the picture of your granddaughter eating that huge strawberry and Ila May is just perfect sleeping at the picnic!

  15. Christine, so nice to see you back in blogland, although I'm so far behind on my favorite bloggers. Been busy around here.

    What a wonderful post. Picnics, especially backyard picnics, are one of my favorite summer things. And what sweet company you have. That baby is just adorable. I know you've been a big help. Kisses to Ila May from me.
