Granz's Picnic Page
One of our family's favorite
activities was to go on a family picnic. Now that the kids have all moved
out, we can still go on picnics by ourselves, with friends, or with the grandkids. With some simple
preparation, this can be a very low-cost, very simple
activity.

We like to pack what we call a picnic kit in
our car. This consists of a box with a small pack
of paper plates, some plastic utensils, several
of the little condiment packs or some small jars
of condiments, a bag of chips or pretzels, some
paper or plastic cups, and maybe a couple packs
of drink mix with an empty plastic
jug. With this in the car, we can go on a picnic
with literally only minutes of preparation time.
We simply get in the car, hit a local grocery
store to pick up a loaf of bread and a couple
packs of lunch meat - deli if there's a sale
going on ;) A few dollars to cover this could
even be put inside the picnic kit and there will
be no "out of pocket" expenses for the
picnic. |

This has a nice listing of the parks inside the
city. |
