Exciting Fun for Family Picnic

Does your family enjoy a picnic? Is there any better way to enjoy the balmy air and bright sunshine than to get the family, and perhaps some congenial friends, together in some pleasant spot out of doors, lay aside your dignity, along with your town clothes and join the children in a real frolic with some good things to eat thrown in?

The lunch need not be an elaborate one because the enchantment of the outdoors makes the simplest food delicious. Roasted potatoes, sweet corn roasted in the husks, and steaks grilled over the open fire never fail to please, or if you are not the boy-or-girl-scout type, and do not enjoy outdoor cooking, the food can all be prepared at home. Good old potato salad with deviled eggs, hearty sandwiches and fruit are always easy to serve.

A true and tried way to prevent too many fist fights and too many ducklings in the creek by the younger members of the crowd is to keep them busy with games planned ahead of time. On the way to the picnic ground usually excitement prevails. To calm the younger members of the family and to ease that sense of tenseness, we divide our carload into two teams. One team watches the right-hand side of the road and the other the left. The teams count cows, winning one point for every cow seen except for the white ones which count five points.

This keeps the children busy, and busy children are not restless. To add spice to the game for the older youngsters we have a ruling that whenever a member of one team sees a white horse on the opponent side of the road, it cancels all the opponent's points, and that side must start over again. Usually a total of 100 or 150 points is agreed upon as game.

If our chosen picnic spot is so secluded that we must hike through the woods to reach it, we play the game by giving one point for every tree of a certain variety seen and five points for something special. For instance, in our locality we award one point for every spruce spotted, and five points for every white birch. This is a most fascinating game and incidentally teaches the children to be observing.

Right after our picnic lunch we try to have a game that is not too active and still exciting enough to interest even the most energetic. "Air, Water, and Fire", is quite a favorite with us. Many times we have played it as a car game while motoring through the country.

Here, at the picnic spot, all but one of the entire groups sits in a circle. The extra player stands inside the circle and throws a small ball or knotted handkerchief at someone and at the same time calls out one of the three words, "Air, Water, or Fire," and then quickly counts to ten.

Children are fond of picnic. They love going out and playing with their Mom and Dad. So, it is important to get everything prepared before going out to picnic.

Wood Picnic Q&A

What is the best type of wood to use for building a picnic table?

I'm building two picnic tables for Eagle Scout project and wondered what the wood is nicer? Redwood is too expensive ... I need something cheaper. It's a picnic table outside. I wonder if the treated wood really that bad? io because if the paint stains, I will be covering the "poisonous" stuff ... is also by far the cheapest I think. If you know the price average wood they recommend, could you tell me that.

Pressure treated lumber for exterior would be the best choice. And not too expensive. Another idea would be to mix the species of pressure-treated wood by using the structure and natural putrefaction resistant wood such as cedar, redwood or cypress for seat and the top. Then the added cost would not be so drastic. As for painting or staining the picnic table space is recommended that the leaching wood from moisture and chemicals in the first place. You could avoid this problem, go to a lumberyard and ask them to hand pick the pressure of trying and / or cedar wood in a stack that has been exposed to sunlight for a period detail. Recommend solid color stain or pigment dye followed by a lacquer, a finish. more pressure-treated wood is no longer with "poison." Dejan timber sales made with arsenic-called CCA (chromated copper arsenate) on December 31, 2003. Good luck picnic table project!

However, this problem needs and creative ideas for cooking?

my roommate's birthday is in 3 days. I take her out on a picnic small, but I do not "know what to bring or make or anything. heres the bits of information I am working since I love tea. if I can find a way to bring or make hot tea in the middle of a wooded park, I definitely want to, but I need ideas of how to achieve this. if this is done, I'm pretty sure want to make it a bit of white tea, because she said she wanted to try. As far as food goes, I have no idea. she'll have plenty of cakes and stuff style and for his birthday, so I'm looking for finger food, light, easy to do (I'm not pro) that heavy arn'to breaded pastry things. Snacks are too easy. tomorrow I'm going to buy a picnic basket and bring together some of the basic tools for the date. people! give me suggestions for food and everything else. especially help me reach way to make hot tea! heat just does not seem to be working well enough.

if you get a thermos can keep the water nice and hot. bring a glass of water and a variety of tea bags when you get there you can sneak in front of her! to eat with your fingers try finger sandwiches, I leave you with a website that has a good vareity of sandwiches!
