Bubble Gum Picnic

When my son was 4 we went grocery shopping early one morning and in his sleepy little guy head he decided we needed a HUGE pack of bubble gum. I asked him what for and he said "well, we can go on a picnic". I almost laughed out loud, but he looked so honest and sincere. So I bought that HUGE pack of gum (like 10 regular packages in one), went home and unloaded groceries, put a big blanket in the car and off we went on a "bubble gum picnic". We laid on that blanket at the park and just smacked piece after piece of bubble gum. Trying to blow bubbles, looking at the clouds, giggling, laughing and just enjoying each other to pieces. He is 10 now and doesn't remember that day, but I do with very fond memories. I asked him just the other day if he wanted to go on a bubble gum picnic and he looked at me as if I had lost my mind...probably the same look I gave him 6 years ago. But whatever, my baby is growing up. Can't wait to take my 15 month old twins on one when they are old enough to not swallow it all!!!
