Preparing for Our “Move In Picnic” Adventure

August 24, 2015

We love summertime adventures as a family. From trips to the local park to summer vacations, we enjoy being out and about. This summer, we’ve done far less “adventuring” than usual. We just moved yesterday, so a lot of the summer we had to stay close to home and spent more time than we would have liked packing. The kids were troopers and now that we are in the new house we are all so excited about what was our biggest summer adventure: a move! 

We still got plenty of travel in: some trips to the beach, a boardwalk filled with rides, an amusement park, aquarium and some really neat farm adventures. In between the kids did a great job of helping us prepare for the move, even helping pack boxes. As the move got closer  they got a little nervous about leaving our house and neighbors. Now that we are in the new house they are excited and starting to adjust. We have quite a bit of work to do over the next 2 weeks, which happen to be the last 2 weeks of summer, so I wanted to plan a few more fun things to do. I realized we haven’t had a picnic this summer, so I decided to plan a special “move in picnic” for the girls tomorrow. 

It will be our first lunch time as a family in the new house, so I thought it could be a picnic adventure in our backyard. I am trying to make it special, as a special welcome to our new yard. The girls loved our old yard, and this will be an exciting welcome to their new outdoor space. Since the yard is still “brand new” to us, this picnic will be a fun adventure. We can search for a tree we like to sit near, find the best place for a picnic blanket and enjoy a meal together. I have a few fun ideas on how to make the “move in picnic” special, with some new snacks and lovable sandwich idea. 

To prepare for our move in picnic, I went to Walmart to check out their why it’s the new SNACKATION destination. It was the perfect place to stock up on go-to summer snacks for the picnic as well as the ingredients for some of the special lunch ideas I had. 

Check back later this week to see how our “move in picnic” turned out and all the delicious snacks and sandwiches served!
