Picnic

It's hard for William and I to get a day off together. I work two jobs and even though I work one job at the same store as him, we don't get the same days off. This past week we had a few days off together, and we chose Monday to have a picnic.

We went to a park in Massapequa and packed a lunch. The weather couldn't have been more cooperative. It was sunny, a nice breeze was blowing, and it wasn't too hot.

I made creamy lemon chicken salad on pita, (I'll post the recipe at the end of the post), and dark chocolate brownies for dessert. After we ate lunch, we found a little nook along the lake to eat our brownies. Then we spent a good hour and a half walking around the lake, soaking in the sunshine, and observing all of the nature around us. I took loads of pictures, too!
