Picnic at the Tan

Little Bambi has been doing imaginary plays a lot lately. She pretends she is in a boat, in a train, in a plane, and most recently she has been playing pretend picnic!

Here is Little Bambi playing picnic in her
bedroom by herself, with all her toys.

And so... Grumpy and I decided to take her out for a REAL picnic, considering it is beautiful weather this weekend. He won a picnic basket from work about a year ago. I bought a picnic rug from last year's Christmas sale. So I am glad we are finally putting our picnic utensils into good use.

I googled 'Best picnic spots in Melbourne', and read up on local parks, places like Mt Dandenong etc. In the end, we decided on the Tan (the only place we were most familiar with, and also because we knew we would not be disappointed).

We packed our picnic basket the night before. And this morning, after my 8.30am RPM class in Chaddy, I stopped by at Aldi - picked up some cheese, crackers, dip and chocolate biscuits (for dessert). 

Here are some pictures from today.

Little Bambi munching on celery sticks with onion dip.

Trust Grumpy to bring the alcohol..

Cheers!

It was nice that Dopey and his girlfriend joined us too at our picnic. We laid on the grass, Little Bambi ran around on her bare feet, food was yummy, we played music from the iPad and Spotify, the temperature was still a bit cool by my standards (20 degrees celcius). Overall, the picnic today was absolutely perfect.
