Picnics and Plaid

Over Labor day weekend, my little family met up with some friends for a fun little hike and picnic.  We went to Cascade Springs, Located in Midway, UT.

We Packed up the car with coolers full of sandwiches and Lemonade, a picnic basket, and a big plaid blanket to spread out on.

But when we got there, there was a big sign that said, “No Picnicking”  Seriously? Such a Bummer!  So we had to have a little tailgate picnic in the parking lot instead.

 It’s such a beautiful spot.  Lot’s of cascading springs and bridges.  So it was all ok in the end, even if I didn’t get the picnic I was hoping for.  I am such a sucker for Picnics.

 I came across some other pictures of Picnics and Plaid that I thought I’d share.  The two just go hand in hand.

 I Want these Plates.

I think Plaid has such an Outdoorsy, cozy, fall feeling to it.

    What do they have against picnics?? I'm glad you had a good time anyway.
    Picnics do need plaid!

    Wow – some state or municipal officials have some answering to do – 'no picnicking'….really? In this time of constraint they want to stop families from enjoying a simple, healthy pleasure? It makes me crazy!

    The only thing I can't pass up in a thrift store is a great quality plaid wool blanket. I asked my husband if he thinks I'll become a plaid wool blanket hoarder – you never know. And I LOVE the old plaid Thermos and tin plaid picnic basket. Preppy at heart, I guess.
