Another essential is the esky. Esky's keep things cool and can be packed down with ice so food and your beverages of choice can be kept refreshingly cool. Coming from a relatively cold country this was a new concept to me but one that I can completely see the value in. After all who wants a lukewarm drink when it's 42 degrees?
We spent this afternoon listening to jazz music in the glorious confines of Hyde Park. Our contribution was tuna pasta for the kids, mince pies (that have been sitting in the cupboard since Xmas) and some crackers n' a bit of cheese. Pitched against the culinary delights brought by Kerst and Fi we'd stand no chance in a picnic contest. There was a beautiful salad with olives, deli-fresh fills with smoked cheese and gourmet sandwiches. Their picnic blankets and kid-friendly plates and cups also came in handy whilst our make-shift seating area (the car visor) got pushed to the side. Time to up the game methinks...
Despite the failed picnic attempt, a good time was had by all. I managed to grab some cute shots of the kids as they danced around and got a lot of smiles from my nephew who still avoids me like the plague. Maybe I'll try stitching sweeties into my t-shirt next time. That should bring him round.
