Oct 2 2009 Picnic in the South Park with Brad & Jeanne and family.

Bradley and Jeanne came down to visit me, with Amy and girls, they ask me if I would like to go on a picnic with them. Ben & Anaidean was right behind them. I agreed and so they went to the store and got stuff and off we went.



We stopped here in South Park to have our winner roast picnic in the late afternoon. Here is the gang of Brad and Jeanne's family.

We settled upon this table in the park to have our picnic winner roast. In South Park Canyon.



Amy got Millie out of the car, she was glad to get out.



We found a spot to have a picnic, and so I got a picture of Anadean and Ben with their little family before Milly got tired and went to sleep, well while they were all in a good mood.



I pose with Ben & Anadine and Milo, and Millie in this interesting tree.



The signs in the park said no fires, but the Ranger was kind enough to let us use this picnic stove for our winner roast.



All set up for lunch, now to get the winners roasted.
