1. Pick the Perfect Spot
Choosing the right location is key to a wonderful spring picnic.
Look for a park, garden, or lakeside area with plenty of shade and space to spread out.
Bonus points if there’s a playground for kids, a scenic view, or a walking trail to explore.
We love to spot animals like squirrels and birds.
