Picnic is Fun!
What is a fun and
exciting activity to do outdoors; especially
during the summer? Picnics!
Jeffrey
Harmes and The Harmes Team, your residential specialists in the Denver North Metro area, think so too! Below are
some practical suggestions when going out on a picnic.
1. Venue, venue, venue!
This is quite important and relevant
depending on the number of
people who will enjoy your picnic. Pick out the best picnic place for
you, your family, and your friends in the Thornton area.
A pavilion with shade and plenty of grassy space is
suggested for the children as well as a playground;
especially for a big picnic. For a small, family only kind of a
picnic, the only real requirement is a place where the land is
flat ground to lay your blanket, food and stuff onto, and of course,
a spacious play space. In either case you will need to make sure
that the land is public and not privately owned!
2. Plan the picnic.
For most, impromptu, picnics are fun. It does
not hurt to plan an awesome day with family and friends. Be clear on who
is bringing what – we don’t want to look for utensils or paper cups when we are
at the picnic area. Food including fruits, drinks,
and desserts must be checked. It’s also a good idea to have
a First Aid kit; just in case as well as an extra change of
clothes – swimsuits, extra shirts, etc.
3. Check the weather.
It is important that we make sure our
picnic day will be sunny and warm especially if it is a picnic away from
our own backyard. Check the weather before planning your perfect picnic day. No matter what
the case, make sure to pack sunscreens / sunblock for
protection.
4. Pack light but pack
everything.
Traditional picnics
include a wicker basket full of food, a blanket, and maybe
a recreational toy or two. Be practical and realistic. Food is
better packed in compact containers in an insulated bag that has nifty compartments to secure everything in place. Be
creative with your picnic food, picnics don’t always have
to be about sandwiches. You could make a salad
from produce found at your local Farmer’s Market or you could try the
newest fad: desserts in a jar – this should be fun to make and to eat! A small table or a bed tray to rest your food on might not be a bad idea; and let us
not forget, paper towels, towelettes and trash bags – remember, it’s
important to clean up after yourselves.
5. Picnic activities
Picnics are fun for the whole
family. And we want our little ones have the most fun on that day.
While the adults enjoy fishing or catching up under the shade with
food and drinks the children will be having fun doing outdoor activities, playing picnic games and simply enjoying the great outdoors.
