What could be better than a picnic on the beach for a family dinner outing? To collect sand in the toes, the sound of the ocean a walk on the beach, and a large fire around. If you are not lucky enough to the sea, a lake, pond, stream or do live wells. Or simply put blankets in the backyard. A few simple dinner recipes for a picnic on the beach then later when it gets dark, you can do some star watching.
What you need:
1) A place to go.Choose a local beach, preferably with fire pits or barbecues. One with a little protection from the wind is ideal. It will keep the sand of the food later.
2) Fire - a fire pit, grill, or create your own. You may bring a small portable grill or dig a pit and line it with stones. When you make your own fire pit, it's great to have the whole faily into the ditch, the hunt for rocks and searching for firewood. It's a good idea to make a grill, an overview of your stones on the setFireplace. And I always bring back some firewood in the search for wood is less than a reasonable offer.
3) seats - a picnic bench, folding chairs or a large, old blanket or blanket are wonderful to sit by the fireplace. Bring more like the days you can cool all around the fire, and you can side's turn as the wind direction changes to avoid getting smoke in your eyes.
4) Games - It's a great idea to bring some games or toys to occupy the troops until dinnerTime. A bucket and shovel are classic beach toys and the basis of any good sand castle. It's really amazing how the sand for children to play in an entertaining way. It is like playing on Christmas, when all the little kids love the boxes and wrapping; they take to the beach and they love the sand. Of course later they are in every crevice, but that a price worth paying for a good day at the beach. Beach balls are a good choice, as Frisbees. Bring another bucketIf you have a shell collector. They will spend hours beach combing for treasures. You can collect a game shells and sea glass and have a craft days later where you left your treasures in a trade like decorated picture frames.
5) Camera - Since we will make, some decorated picture frames later with our collected shells, we can bring the camera and declared capturing a little sun and sand goofiness on film. I love a shot from the end of the day when all irpink and sandy, tired and happy.
6) Security - Ensure the safety discussion with children at an early stage have. Depending on how many you have with you and how old they are, there are rules may be different, but every child should know clearly whether they are permissible in the water, and if so, how deep. (To its knees? Around the belly button?) And if we walk the beach looking for shells, can choose to mark, to show how far it is safe to go and if you have someone with you.
7)Dry - carry loads of towels, preferably large bath towels. Bring more than you think you have to, because someone always cold and wet, if it is during the day and starts to get cool.
8) Warm clothes - be careful to bring jackets for everyone. When the days get cooler, it is slightly chilled. Bring a bit soft in the event that we all get a sunburn.
9) Sunscreen - I hate to have cut short a great trip because we do not plan well enough for the sun exposure.Make sure it is waterproof, and there is plenty reapplied as needed.
10) Drinks! Make sure you have plenty of bottled water on hand, and fruit and drinks for the children and what adults want. Why do not you go with a beach theme and have some mai tais on the beach. You do not even need to taste alcoholic good if also add a little rum, well flaover. Buy a mai tai mix, orange juice, mango juice, pineapple juice and rum you want, when and go to town. It's extra point if you make niceGlasses (non breakable of course) and super extra credit for the little umbrellas.
11) Food! I bet you thought we never get there, but you know, the food is the highlight of the day. Today we have done in foil to cook shrimp, succulent tender shrimp, sweet summer corn, and spicy sausage, all grilled together in a foil package. They are make ahead and pop over the radiator to the fire when we are ready. You should also bring a loaf of bread or garlic, all cut with butter and sliced and packed inFoil to warm on the grill. For starters I like little smokey sausages do. Give everyone a Weiner roasting stick or fashion of her own clothes hangers, spear a little smoky sausage and heat over the fire until sizzling. But be careful, they're hot! Bring more than you think you need to get as big appetite with all that sun and activity. I'm convinced it makes the food taste better, too! For dessert, it must be S'mores. Bring marshmallows, roasting sticks,Chocolate bars and graham crackers. Again, bring more than you think you need to marshmallows dropped in the sand, like torches and hearty appetite burned Account!
