...a picnic in the sun

Emily eats a peanut butter and jelly sandwich while sitting in the sunshine.
Gabby waits for a morsel of sandwich to drop on the ground. She didn't have any luck.

We found a piece rope which we took back to the truck.

There was a brief window of sunshine this afternoon and we took full advantage of it. We packed a picnic lunch and drove out to Capt. Cook State Park. We ate our food at a picnic table near the Swanson River canoe landing. The rays of sun felt warm on our faces as we munched on sandwiches, chips, apples, and cheese.

After lunch we took a walk down the road which was wet and muddy. We found an old rope along the way which we used to play games with Gabby on the way back to the truck. She particularly enjoyed tugging at it as we walked along. We got back to the truck just as the clouds began to roll back in and the sun was gone. As we drove home we were happy that we took advantage of the window in the weather to have...a picnic in the sun.
