Picnic

Activity Jar #2: The activity that was pulled from the jar was “picnic.” We planned a picnic at a new park up in Canuck-land. Unfortunately, the weather on Saturday was crummy. Everyone agreed to our revised picnic plans…board games, Wii games, an indoor picnic, and a movie…all together.

No pictures, just a list to describe the event…

1. I beat Sarah & Bethany at Rummikub!

2. Ed & Elise were crushed by Becca in Monopoly, Jr.

3. Somehow or another Becca beat me in Slicing on Wii Sports Resort.

4. Despite bowling an astronomical number of splits, I can still score pretty well in Wii bowling.

5. Paninis with sourdough bread, ham, tomato, smoked gouda, and cheddar are my new favorite sandwich. Only Panera Bread can compete.

6. Chips, fruit, paper plates, eating on the floor, and COKE apparently make for a pretty amazing indoor picnic.

7. “Ramona & Beezus” is a really, really cute movie. And I’ll admit it. I teared up a bit. More than once. And Aunt Bea has the cutest haircut ever. I’m totally getting it.

8. After the movie, I had to find “Eternal Flame” on You Tube. (If you’ve seen the movie, you know why.) Any other 80’s music fans out there? Total big bang flashbacks happening now…

9. As a family, we totally felt the love.

And we are now 2 for 2 in Activity Jar success!

Nope, according to the all-knowing Internet, Eternal Flame was by The Bangles and that link is to the original video, supposedly.
