International Picnic Day is June 18th, and since the weather is getting warmer, we recommend taking advantage of the day to enjoy the nice weather. Picnics are a good opportunity to get your family and friends together to enjoy a meal. In this week’s Cherry Hill Apartments Blog, we’ve got a few tips on how you can have a successful picnic.
Pack the Essentials
The last thing you want is to get excited about spending a day in the sun then realizing you’ve forgotten something. To avoid this situation, we suggest making a list of the essentials you’ll need for a fun picnic, then slowly cross of the items that you’ve gathered. Once you’ve gotten all you need, keep them all packed and within reach of the door so you don’t forget it on the way out!
Get Some Exercise
Because you’re going to be outside, take advantage of it! Get some exercise by bringing some sports equipment like a football, spikeball net, or even a frisbee! Invite your friends and family to play while you’re out, even if for just a short time. This is a perfect way to help children work up an appetite and expend some energy before eating.
Clean Up
Regardless of where you are, you’ll want to leave the picnic spot cleaner than you found it originally. This means removing the trash that you’ve created and even going the extra mile and pick up some additional pieces of garbage that were left behind. Pack additional trash bags so you’ll have some place to put trash. Don’t be afraid to invite the guests at your picnic to lend a hand and clean up, as it makes the work go much faster.
