We had lunch at the marina and it was a little CHILLY. While making peanut butter sandwiches and serving them on paper plates, I said to Mason, "I am so my mother right now!" I have fond memories growing up of picnics on the side of the road, at random picnic sites, all served with love by my mom. Some subtle differences were present though:
1- Mom always had a table cloth to cover up the you-know-what's on the table.
2- She always had some sort of fruit or veggie with the meal. I'm pretty sure BBQ Pringles weren't on her menus.
3- Mom served our sandwiches on wheat bread... none of this fluffy yucky white bread stuff!
Hope my girls look back at these make-shift picnics with as much adoration as I do!

What a great idea! Darin kept falling asleep during conference so maybe next time we should take a drive too. Nice job with the sandwiches - I'm sure your girls loved them and will have great memories of your picnics.
I am so jealous of your drive up the canyon...I can just imagine the leaves!! Romy is such a mini you, I am dying looking at her! What adorable girls you have!!
We were hoping to go on a drive through Logan Canyon today too, but didn't. We always do that on fall Conference, so I was sad to not be able to. Funny though, my mom & dad use to do the same thing, just go have random picnics. Great memories, huh??
What a good idea. We went for a little drive to Porcupine and got hooked up at my mom's for dinner hence the extra needed miles in the morning!
I love your Mom's picnic's too! How does she always remember the table cloth...I'm lucky if I remember something for McKell to eat!
I love that canyon! Fall time is the best.
Isn't funny how we begin to see our moms in us as we grow up.
