As a child, I was always excited about having picnics. I even have a picture of me as a one-year old baby taken during one picnic day with my cousins. In the photo, I looked very eager to open a box of Cheese Curls. Back when everyone in my family lives in the same house and computers and other electronic gadgets were less popular, we used to spend some weekends visiting the park and having lunch together. In my memory, I can still vividly recall details of our gorgeous feast: a picnic straw mat filled with plates of delicious ham, egg, and cheese sandwiches; hot and crispy chicken; sweet and creamy fruit salad; and thick swirls of chocolate ice cream. After lunch, we usually just chat and laugh at our silly jokes, listen to the soft melodies of my cousin’s guitar, or ride our bikes around the park. Those picnics were really fun.
Sadly, now that I’m older, I don’t get to hang around much
with my cousins. Like many people, I live in a city where almost everybody no
longer has time to visit parks or to have picnics with their family and
friends. These days, we often communicate with other people through our
computers and phones. But why not break a routine and do something different
for once?
If you have the luxury and time to be extravagant, you
should visit one of the most
beautiful parks in the world and have your picnic there. Go hiking or
simply enjoy the breathtaking scenery. If you don’t have time or can’t
afford to travel, you can be creative and still have a wonderful picnic. You can
lay your picnic mat outside the house or on the lawn or in the garden. I hope
you would also get a chance to see colorful flowers and smell the fresh scent from
trees. Do whatever you want! Just remember, the important thing is to appreciate
the beauty of your outside world and spend time with the people you love. So,
go on and have that picnic!
