Perfect Fall Picnic

The leaves are just calling you to jump in them. You hear them every morning as you run from your door to the car, hoping to not be late to work, again. This weekend, take some time to enjoy the incredible beauty of the turning leaves. A midmorning hike is the perfect way to embrace these brisk sunny days. Wear shoes that will allow you to jump in, tromp through, and--let’s admit it--fall on your rear in, the red, orange and yellow leaves. Pack a light, mitten-friendly picnic and get ready to relive some of the joys of your childhood.

Perfect Fall Picnic

Fill a basket or backpack with

-a thermos of homemade hot chocolate
-a thermos of creamy tomato soup
-a few bags of cashews and toasted almonds
-various sliced cheeses*
-a few slices of toasted baguette
-water bottles
-treats for the pup (optional)

* slice the cheese before you leave, your fingers will not be up for the job outside and will be crying to crawl back into their warm cozy mittens.
