Labor Day Fall Festive Picnic!

Labor Day this year was rather chilly in Ann Arbor, so HanKimSus (Nearly Normal Girls + Susie) decided a fall festive picnic was in order. We grabbed thick blanket, our cozy fall clothes, and tasty picnic treats to enjoy in University of Michigan's Arboretum. 

Once we found a relatively flat area Kimmy and Susie lay the blanket out. We packed a two baskets. Our savory basket was filled with french baguettes, walnut & cherry cheese spread, veggies, and hummus. The tasty dessert basket (pictured above) satisfied the sweet tooth with glazed pumpkin donuts, apples with caramel dip, and a sparkling grape juice.

Everything was delicious! We were a bit disappointed that it was too early in the season to find cider at the grocery store, but the compromise ended up working out. We especially love sipping our sparkling Welsch's out of adorable mason jars. We brought the lids to protect from the bugs, and keep the rest of our goods from getting sticky after we packed up. Mason jars were also used as storage for our Fuji and Golden Delicious apple slices. Can you tell we can't get enough? Useful and pretty! Our favorite combination.

Our picnic was phenomenal! So many aspects brought smiles to our faces. The food, the conversation, and the crisp fall air. It was so much fun people watching the park-goers, including the man who stopped to do some push-ups uncomfortably close to us consuming donuts. That's awkward...

Thanks for reading! Enjoy your fall festivities :)
