Picnic in the Park

We had a very lovely Saturday afternoon at the park. Even though it was overcast and stormed both Friday and Saturday night, it was pleasant enough to allow us to have a cookout at the park with some friends.

After eating, we played a little Kubb. For those who don't know, Kubb is a Swedish lawn game where you throw wooden dowels, attempting to knock over wooden blocks. Wikipedia describes it as a combination of bowling and horseshoes, which I think is pretty accurate. We had a good time and it was definitely nice to be outside at a time when it isn't too hot or too cold.

I'm still getting used to my new camera. It is definitely a vast improvement over our 7 year old cameras that it replaced. These probably all would have been blurry and out of focus before, instead of just the one that Jeran took! :)

Adam was cold, having come straight from a basketball game without a jacket, but the blanket did not hinder his throwing.

It made me want to go out and play - well, when it warms up. So glad you have great friends.

I love this game & thanks for introducing it to us many years ago! I actually made this game for Ian a couple of years ago and we have introduced it to many of our friends and family and they love it as well!
