Last weekend, Saturday, our family went on a picnic in the Danube River. The weather was beautiful and we had a chance to make a little escape into nature.
It was a planned trip and we already prepared our things before the picnic. We have on our list like sausages, water, airbed, small freezer for cold drinks, portable speaker for music, swimming essentials and more.
Our perfect outdoor adventure for a sunny day. As we drove toward the river, it was near our house. The sky was blue and fluffy clouds. Approaching the area were corn fields and lush green landscapes.
When we arrived at the Danube River, luckily there's no people near the river and we found our perfect spot to stay. Our quiet place was shaded by tall trees. It's not only the 3 of us we're so happy. We have our little companion, our cute dog named Kubo who's very happy and excited to play outside. And we were having our adventure, our little dog wagging his tail.
Aya and I help Dad to pick up all the things inside the car to set up our little place and arranged everything we brought
It was high tide that time and our plan to have our badminton was not possible. But it was all ok because we brought a small ball we can play on the river.
Peaceful Saturday adventure, the river was calm and we can only hear the gentle sounds of the water and birds chirping. The speed boats and ships slowly made their way along the river. And Aya waved her hands and shouted out loud to say Hello to them. I'm happy that she likes our little adventure.
Aya was playing together with Kubo. And my husband and I gathered dry wood and started a fire to grill our sausage.
We all think we prepared the things we needed. But we still forgot to bring our things for grilling. My husband was a little angry at himself; he forgot it. But I said, it's all ok and no need to go home. We will use a stick-a roasted sausages on a stick.
Things were all set and slowly roasted our food for lunch. We haven't finished and our Aya was hungry. She's the one who eats her lunch on the first batch of sausage.
Our lunch outdoors was extra special. We have sausages, with bread, veggies and some sauces. It was a simple and happy adventure. surrounded by nature and eating by the river, made everything extra special. And our dog has his food too and not dog food, it was sausage. We all have the same food and we share it with everyone.
Even before we started the fire, we turned on some music and dad chose the playlist. Because he has data. If he turns on his hotspot and both of us will have the connection. For sure Aya will not enjoy our adventure. She will be more focused on mobile.
Our music created the perfect vibe. Playing the ball, chatted, laughed
After lunch, we sing and dance. Letting the tunes fill the quiet air. It created the perfect picnic vibe. We chatted, laughed, and we really enjoyed the simple pleasure
Even our dog was having his best day. I even captured him relaxing. He was so cute. He knows I took a snap but it doesn't matter. He loved it too and my model for that day.
We went for a refreshing swim, we couldn’t resist the water of the Danube River.
Perfect hot summer day and the water was not too cold. We're living in the best moment of simple and pure happiness.
We enjoy life’s simple pleasures that nature offers us.
What I loved was that it seems we owned the place, our paradise. I made more photos for us to remember forever. And not only that, we did a dance together with my daughter. I will treasure all of it.
Before the day ended, we slowly packed our things. We brought a trash bag to make sure we don't leave any garbage. And sad to say while packing our things, our airbed had a leak. It was broken and I needed to throw it.
Aya doesn't like it but we cannot use it at all.
It's time to end our day adventure. It's not a goodbye to the beautiful place. See you later. We can visit the Danube River anytime this summer. My husband drove home, we all felt happy. We all needed this kind of adventure. On our day, we had so much fun, sharing happy moments, good food and reconnecting with nature.
We're busy parents, and want to provide for everyday life for our family. And we promise to our kids it's not just about food and money. The important thing is also spending time with them. Spending time outdoors like going hiking and on the river create lasting memories.
Aya and I were always grateful for our simple adventures. Our river and picnic journey was the best. We're looking forward to more happy moments. What's next we will do???. Hmmm, I'll see. Even simple things are important as long as we're together.
Our best moments , simple family adventures and the most memorable.
