After spending the morning berry picking (if you missed it, check out yesterday’s post!), we all headed to the beach for a sunny, sandy picnic. We’d also planned on swimming, but due to heavy rains, they closed the beaches to swimmers and cautioned folks to not spend too much time in the water with all the bacteria stirred up overnight. Unfortunately, that meant we didn’t swim as intended, but instead we waded and splashed knee-deep for a bit (which was still wonderful and cooling), but, fortunately, it also meant that we pretty much had the entire beach and a nice shady picnic spot all to ourselves, which was glorious
We feasted on juicy slices of watermelon, strawberry-infused ice tea, roasted chicken legs, hummus and pitas, tomato basil chips, and several delicious chilled salads. Summer picnicing at its finest!
