*picnic basket -I’m loving the Peterboro Basket Company… sadly they are closing so if you don’t have one, go shopping!
*blanket/beach towel/table cloth- I happen to adore oilcloth… it repels spills so it’s easy to clean and sand falls right off
*reusable containers for nibbles/glass jars for drinks
*Food! As simple or fancy as you’d like. I tend to get snacks- a mix of pre-made and homemade. I don’t always bring a cooler so plan accordingly. Remember to pack a garage bag…carry in & carry out.
*sunblock/bugspray
*Journal/notebook… We have a family gratitude journal that has become our Picnic log…we record when, where, what we did! It’s been fun and I highly recommend it as the kids thoroughly enjoy looking back through it.
