July is the perfect month to get outdoors and have a picnic. There are so many possible
spots to enjoy a picnic this summer, such as the Cleveland or Lorain Metroparks. The
Rocky River Reservation is one of my favorite spots. I like to take the kids down by the
river and sit on the bank. In Lorain County the kids love to visit the New Russia Township
Park & Nature Preserve. A couple other favorite spots we have are Hickley Lake and
Huntington Beach.
I am always in awe of those moms who pack the perfect picnic lunch and have exactly
everything they need. Luckily, those moms introduced me to pinterest, where I could find
the "perfect family picnic" checklist. I hope you enjoy. I also would love for you to share
your ideas and comments on my facebook page: www.facebook.com/jennifer.herron.90
