Spring Picnic

In contemporary usage, a picnic can be defined simply as a pleasure excursion at which a meal is eaten outdoors (al fresco or en plein air), ideally taking place in a beautiful landscape such as a park, beside a lake or with an interesting view and possibly at a public event such as before an open air theater performance, and usually in summer - this time in the spring. 

A beautiful day in a field near our home. The kiddies were excited to show me where they go running with mommy. We saw the Strassenbahn and the castle where we go to the playground. A kind older man smiled at us adults but was more interested in speaking with Isabella and Henry. He told us he had 32 grandchildren and left us with the message "Kinder sind eine Freude" (children are a joy). We agree!
