Family Picnic

My wife and I, some family and friends, took advantage of the beautiful weather. We packed our picnic baskets, there were sixteen of us all together! The location we had chosen, was a resort town, not far away. We settled down on a sandy beach that overlooked the bay. The bay was on McDonald Lake, which had a beach of snow-white sand. The temperature was warm enough, so swimming would be just grand. It wasn't all that crowded. The kids had room to play. It seems that we were lucky we picked a real good day. It was absolutely beautiful, like I would picture paradise. Such beautiful flowers and giant trees! It got my mind to thinking, "Life is really nice". Some rowboats and canoes were there. You could use them if you wish. You could ride around on McDonald Lake, or maybe even fish. Some of our group went swimming. Others went for a nature walk. Some of us just sat right there, all we did was eat and talk. Everyone was really pleased with how the day turned out. A lasting, Summer memory, of that we had no doubt!
