friday picnic in the park!

What a beautiful day for a picnic!

On friday, Tony, Carly and I decided to have a fancy picnic in City Park in Denver. The park is home to the Denver zoo, lakes and the museum of nature and science.

We received a picnic basket (more like a backpack) for the wedding and I had been dieing to use it. Thank you, Jen! It came with a cooler compartment, corkscrew, cutting board, plastic plates, wine glasses, silverware,

Tony and I went to the store to get the necessities... Cheddar and havarti cheese, salami, pepperoni, proscuitto, croissants, strawberries and grapes! We stopped by the liquor store and Carly got chardonney and melbec.

Off to City Park for a perfect sunny-60 degree-Colorado day! We parked our picnic by the lake with our blanket and cameras and food and booze.

There really is nothing like cheese and wine. Don't you think?

After a while of eating like royals, a guest appeared. Yeah, a little buddy squirrel. Like fools, we fed him all kinds of goldfish (so delicious) and he loved us. Then, of course, the Canadian geese came waddling our way.

After finishing the cheese, both bottles of wine, and a couple hours in the sun, we packed up our belongings and headed out.

A wonderful trip to Cold Stone topped off the perfect afternoon. Ooooohhhh...Apple pie-ala-cold stone!

The next beautiful day, go get some fancy food and plop down in a park with some good friends. It is so relaxing and a wonderful way to spend a few hours in nature!!!

Fancy pants!
