*~Springtime Picnic~*

Here in Idaho, once it gets over about 40 degrees, we act as if we've suddenly been relocated to a tropical paradise. If anyone came to visit this Northern state, once it starts to warm up, he would be in for a great surprise. All the kids at schools here are in flip flops, shorts and tee shirts. I suppose the few years Kev and I have been leaving here we have begun to fit in somewhat(considering this topic anyway). So, with all that said, yesterday was a little over 60 degrees and was what we consider a lovely day for a picnic.

We had planned on walking to the park, but Kev plays basketball with friends every Saturday and was a bit too tired for the trek to Porter Park. We drove over to Jimmy Johns, a sandwich cafe unheard of on the East, but good nonetheless. After which, we set up camp in the park across the street, fleece blanket and all. The sky was blue, families were playing catch with their pets, and of course other picnickers were out as well! Anyway, we had a wonderful Saturday spent at the park. We lounged around and to top it off Kev brought his old pig skin to toss around. He seemed impressed with my skills, but maybe he was just trying to flatter-who knows? After the picnic we went to the library, the DI( I bought some amazing old books), and we shared a milkshake. It was a perfect Saturday!
