picnic at the park

Days like this one call for a picnic.... blue skies, warm (not HOT!) temps, and a Daddy who was able to scoot away from work a little early! 

I filled a tupperware with pb and j sandwiches, gathered some outdoor balls and loaded the 5 in the van.  We drove to one of our favorite parks (which is ridiculously close to our new apartment!) and Matt arrived (on bike) not long after we unloaded. 


This gorgeous little lake is buried between apartment high rises, office buildings and shopping malls.  We park in the shadow of a multi-level freeway and head straight for the grass. 


Hello clear blue skies - these are a bit of a rarity around here!










So grateful for this picnic, this evening together,  this sweet little spot in our city.
