Such peace, harmony and fun this family is having, not something we see too often today. But having said that whilst my husband was in for a big op. about 4 months ago, I stayed with my son and his wife and they took me to a wonderful picnic site which was crowded. we walked around, sat on a bench watching the ducks on the dam whilst having an ice cream - a wonderful day! Hugs, blessings Jennifer.

Great interpretation of the picture Joseph. I can just hear the splash, feel the mischief, all of the giggles and mom grabbing a towel. Congratulations and high fives for your win!

Joseph, congratulations on your win. Your verse had great imagery and a different thought for the second stanza. Thank you so much for writing a verse for the contest. Hugs Eve

Such wonderful moments indeed, being with family while enjoying a picnic. On a hot day, splashing in cool water is always nice. Your words bring a smile. :) Brandy
