picnic in the park

Yesterday it cooled off to 90 degrees. I almost got goosebumps. To celebrate the arrival of cooler weather we packed up the family to spend the evening in the park.
the menu: salmon cakes, fresh corn/tomato/black bean salad, and pears
the activity
: feeding (chasing?) ducks, relaxing, playing on the toys

J-P finished his first round of finals over the weekend (including a brutal 13-hour-long accounting final) so we will be spending as much time as possible relaxing at the park before he has to disappear into the depths of his office again.

How fun! I can't believe it's that hot there though- ew!!

I want to go on picnics with you guys! Yum! What is your recipe for the bean/corn/tomato salad? Your husband hit the culinary wife jackpot and, alas, my husband did not.

Great pictures, Mary Ann!! That's such a fun place to take photos. Love that park. Kinda crazy though, trying to chase the kiddo around and keep him out of the water...definitely takes two of us to make sure he doesn't meet an untimely death!

Hooray for cooler weather! What a fun picnic & great pictures. Do you buy the salmon cakes, or make them? Can I have the recipe, or store?
