The Love of a Picnic Lunch

This summer, Alec embraced the "picnic lunch". He requested one almost wherever we went, and was always very satisfied to take this meals in the backyard, a la blanket. One tricky thing was if we went somewhere once with a picnic lunch, we could not go back without one. Also, if someone else supplied the picnic lunch (such as his friend Grace's mommy), he expected to get one each time he saw that them.
