Elliott came home for a long lunch yesterday and could hardly bear to come indoors.
"It's so beautiful outside! Let's go for a picnic!"
We packed food for ourselves and--bravely--packed some for Lena, too. Down the River Walk we went until we came to a patch of soft grass next to the dam.
We had mashed some peas for Lena using the handy-dandy food grinder that my dear friend (and wonderful photographer!) Ana Marie gave me. So the whole family dug into our picnic lunch.
Lena took a bite of peas...
The smart kid knows that homemade pizza is better than smooshed peas any day!
I fed her a little rice cereal after that, which always goes down pretty gracefully.
After we all finished eating (and gagging), I knitted for awhile as Elliott read a National Geographic article aloud with Lena. Our little picnic was such a peaceful interlude in the middle of a regular old day. Bring on this beautiful autumn weather, Texas!

I love the look she's giving him in that last picture!

ReplyDeleteI totally agree with David. I also like the one of her trying to take the pizza.
