Was with my daughter at the playground when I saw a group of preschool teachers and students spreading their groundsheet and tucking into their bento lunch. This won’t have happened in Singapore. We are a hot and humid country and have been conditioned to seek refuge from the sun in air-conditioned places. Even the halls of some educational institutions are air-conditioned. Yes, I know. We are a pampered lot.
Do you spend quality time with your family and friends by organising picnics?
Not really formal picnics but in the summer we will often pack some food and go hang out by the lake with the kids. It’s kind of like a picnic.
Sounds swell! Do you all swim in the lake as well? How clean is the lake?
The lake is pretty clean. Ok for swimming. We don’t really swim in the lake though. Mostly just hang out by the water.
Of course, nothing is more enjoyable than spending quality time outdoors.
Nothing better than feeling the sunlight on your back and the wind on your face!
picnics are fairly common here in LA... the weather is pretty much good for it year round
That’s great since I believe that your cost of living in LA is high. Free is best
Everyday is a picnic here 😄
You have nerves of steel since your baby is a living screamfest haha
Kind of reminds of the fact I haven't done a picnic in almost two decades. Kids grew up and never went back. Probably should do it a few times this summer on a lazy weekend.
And hopefully you can resume this good family tradition when your children have kids of their own
