How often do you have cook-outs or picnics in the summer?

We had our first of the season last night. We didn't have a whole lot of money, otherwise we probably would have just eaten out instead of tried for a picnic. But it was so nice and hot out, and I did not want to sit around the house and slave over a hot oven! We had some ground beef I was going to make a meatloaf out of, but instead we went and bought some buns, chips, potato salad, and charcoal.

We went to a nearby park that has a stream running through it. There are playgrounds there if the kids don't want to play in the water, and plenty of room to run. Hubby grilled the burgers while the babies and I splashed in the water, and my older 3 kids ran around the playground, occasionally running through the water real quick. Afterwards we went for a little walk along the stream through the woods.

We had a great time and decided we want to do this a lot more often. Hubby thinks maybe even weekly!

When was the last time you had a cook-out or picnic?

I havent been to a cook-out since last summer!

We generally do this kind of thing at home. We have a grill that makes it easy. Sometimes we will have some friends over. Hot dogs and hamburgers make for an easy fun get together with friends!

Reading this really makes me want to have a cookout now. We bought a new grill last fall that we havent put together yet. Hopefully this weekend we will have time because we will both be home Monday afternoon for the holiday! I cant wait to try it out!

That park you went to sounds fantastic! There was one like that where I grew up. You definitely cant beat it for family outings! Cheap and fun!

I honestly cannot remember the last time I went to an actual cook out or picnic that wasn't put on just because someone wanted to have a picnic or a cook out. All the cook outs that I've been too that I can think of have been several years ago and were for reasons such as graduation parties, birthdays, that kind of thing.

I was just thinking last night that it would be nice to put on a picnic or have a cook out sometime soon. I was thinking that it would be rather fun to just get a few people together, buy some food and just have a picnic. I kind of miss all the fun summer stuff that we used to do when I was younger. Since everyone has gotten older and people have really lost connections, it just doesn't happen anymore.

Oh I envy you. We are waiting for our summer and perhaps have a barbeque then but at the moment it is not picnic weather. Hope you enjoy lots of picnics.

The last time I had a cookout was last summer. I love food cooked out on the grill, but I don't take the time to do it very often. It sounds like a nice place for you and your family to hang out. There is a park by here that has the BBQ pits you can use and tables and a playground and room to walk around. I should plan on doing that with the kids sometime soon.

I will be having one this weekend....My son and his wife and I bought a camper and it's only 45 minutes away from here so we will be doing more of it...otherwise I only have a cookout when I am with my son's family.....I live alone so it's not something I do on a regular basis.

As I've mentioned before, I'm lucky enough to live in one of the most beautiful places in the world; the river is a 15 minute walk from my front door. My children and I go for cook-outs VERY often. Every nice day we have, we hit the riverbank for weiners.

We've already gone for 3 this spring. Our river is running high so we don't have much beach but it's still soooo much fun.

Most of my grocery shopping during the summer is stuff that can be done up on a fire so that we are always ready to hit the river.

I love picnics and as soon as summer is around the corner there is no stopping. The last one was just last friday and we had an amazing time. I love being out in the sun and it has so many advantages: it is cheaper, is it better to be outside and everybody seems to enjoy everything more. Sometimes me and my friends bring snacks only and spend the day laying Frisbee and soccer. It is all about being with the people you get along with and love and enjoying mother nature for what it has to offer

We live in south Florida and have a big deck out back so we cook out on the grill just about every weekend and eat outside. Our house faces west so it's nice and shady on the deck by then. I love having cookouts and try to come up with ideas for the grill aside from the usual burgers, hotdogs, steaks and chicken.

We've had a Few...But we dont do it as often as we'd like too. Just dont have the money to do it right now. But its nice to do it when you have some friends and family come over on a nice day. We have inground pool but we dont usually open it until June but i dont think we'll open it until july not sure just yet. We do the pool party kinda cook out.

When the weather is really good and it's summertime we usually have a picnic at the local park. We usually barbeque as they have grills and we cook hot dogs and burgers and have a good time. But most of the time we usually cook at home in the backyard and invite relatives over or just have with family.
