Happy Birthday, Queen Victoria!

What a beautiful long weekend we had! My dad, Alan and Eleda were off at the crack of dawn to get their lines in the water at Fanshawe (Dad, did you take pics?) and my mom, Ashton and I met up with them a little later for a great picnic.

In my family, a picnic lunch almost always includes a Big Sandwich. I believe we got the idea from Body Break, those little fitness & nutrition commercials lol. I'm saddened that I forgot to take a pic, but basically you take a big unsliced loaf of some kind (we're partial to the round cheddar onion sourdough loaf at RCSS) and scoop away some of the bready insides. I put mayo on the bottom, layered provolone, turkey, tomatoes, dijon mustard, onions, cucumbers, marble cheese and roast beef. I meant to add arugala, but we forgot. Then I wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and when it's time to eat, slice it into wedges. Yummm!

Ashton made the rounds, sucking on and grabbing anything he could manage...

Including Grandpa's beard.
