Picnic in the Park

Penelope and I commemorated Labor Day by meeting some friends for a picnic in Duke Gardens.

Before our friends arrived, we took a few moments to stop and smell the roses.

Hopefully the Duke Garden Police didn't notice the rose that went missing when Penelope mistook smelling for plucking.

In true Penelope style, the sand held greater interest for her than the beautiful flowers.

When Chora arrived, the little girls quickly became reacquainted with one another.

"Oooh. What a nice shirt Chora."

"Why thank you, Penelope."

"Uh, Penelope. What are you doing in my pockets?"

"Just checking for loose change."

"Look Penelope! I have a belly button."

"Cool Chora. Me too!"

Then the girls went off in search of adventure.

After some hardcore playing we had a nice picnic lunch.

Then things started to go downhill.

It all started when Penelope decided to share her banana chips with Chora.

And then, two seconds later, decided she didn't want to share afterall.

Penelope stuffed her face with the sweet chips as fast as she could, hoping Chora wouldn't notice.

Chora noticed.

After we pulled them apart and soothed away the hurt feelings Penelope promptly crawled into her stroller and declared the picnic over.

So we all headed home for a well earned nap.
