I have decided I am refusing to say goodbye to summer just because the kids are now in school. It is still so warm that most days the boys want to go swimming when they get home in the afternoons. The first day of school we decided to go to a park that I have fallen in love with and have a picnic for Family Home Evening. It has this perfect little clearing fringed with gorgeous trees that seem right out of a fairy tale. The moment I saw it, I wanted to go back and do a picnic with my family and this night was the night.
It was as magical as I had remembered it being and the glitter and fairy dust were in the air for our picnic.
And apparently the food was
amazing(I made a mean peanut butter sandwich)!
And the ham and turkey aint bad either.
And for dessert I made these edible crayons in honor of the first day of school. I found the tutorial on how to do this
here (mine aren't as perfect as hers, but sometimes done is better than perfect).
Can you see all that magic and star dust? It was PERFECT!
The boys played "Red Light, Green Light".
Okay so the magic was really sun rays and the star dust I am pretty sure were gnats...
It's amazing how magical a gnat can seem when caught in a sun ray.
The boys always love to play with Josh. He is so good with them! I think this was a tickle fight.
McKay was so excited to eat our dessert. he was pretty messy about it too :)
The boys loved the night. We had a hard time leaving, and are having an even harder time getting the boys to bed at an early hour when it is still light outside. We are going to go back to this park, maybe for an autumn picnic. The trees at the park and going to be shedding some beautiful leaves and I can't wait to see them!
