last weekend we had a lovely picnic in the park with grandma and grandpa lack, rodica’s niece abby and her nephew david, and ellie’s aunties erica and carerra. we felt very lucky because all of them drove at least an hour to meet in our neighborhood <3 it was also a good time to celebrate because it was the weekend before carerra turned 22. happy birthday, carerra!

speaking of carerra, she's starting to look a lot more pregnant now, and super prego carerra is soooo cute! :)

trust me when i tell you the lack family knows how to have a picnic. we had fried chicken, potato wedges, buffalo wings, onion rings, fresh macaroni salad and strawberry shortcake for dessert. i’m salivating now just thinking about it.

after lunch we went over to the swings and the water fountains. the older kids had lots of fun running around in the water, and ellie enjoyed it, too, but she kept her distance ;)

it was a great day. hooray for lack family picnics!
