      Virtual Picnic! I love it, esp since you're all the way over in Canada and I'm all the way over in California.

      What a fun giveaway and I love the idea of a virtual picnic! So cool!!

      My favorite picnic food is having Smores! It's the only time I have them!! As a kid, it was a treat, my parents would go to Kentucky Fried Chicken and have a picnic, we loved that!!

        It really is. I love a good picnic.

        Oh how I love smores. So yummy. And oh how I miss KFC, they closed ours down so I haven't had it in over a year. Every now and then I just get a hankering.
