With our friends we had an old fashion picnic today. Went to Backbone State Park and had a Weenie Roast. The weather was beautiful...high 70's - low 80's...but we were in the shade and there was a cool breeze. Perfect! We stopped for ice cream cones at Strawberry Point on the way home. We decided we have to do it again this fall.
