Since it's officially summer in this part of the world (sorry Kylie, play along ok?), it is time for the first annual Wild Onion Summer Picnic. As your host, I'll take care of the food and other necessities, but it is up to everyone else to come up with fun summer activities. Let me know what kind of outdoor fun we can have during our big picnic weekend!
I'll fire up the grill and make everyone's favorites!
Every picnic needs to have Fried Chicken...
and the perfect summer food... corn on the cob
We'll have potato salad
Watermelon is always a picnic favorite
I'll bring the remote control beer cooler... so we don't even have to get up to get a drink!
That's a good start... the rest is up to the Wild Onion gang. It's up to you to make this a picnic to remember!

1st!!!
Sounds like a great party Bob!! I will have to rummage through the garage for some fun, party games...some may involve drinking...some may involve...whatever....*heads to garage*
p.s. If I am not back in 24 hrs send help...
CHARADES!!! :)
I'll think some more and be back.
Oh, wait - water balloon fight!
HI GIG!!!! XOXOXOX
I would particularly like to try THAT potato salad! It looks great!
Megs... if we're playing charades let's make sure we aren't too loud.
I wanna play loud charades with Megan! I think that sounded awesome.
I'm bringing some cherries. I have some extremely sweet ones--delicious cold!
I'm with Leah! LOUD charades!!!
And yum, Rainier cherries!!! And awesome potato salad and fried chicken!!
Looks great, Bob! Thanks for the invite.
you really picked on a superb potato salad, bob. this is it's third mention!
i only wish we were actually doing this
You got a passport? I only have to drive five hours to get there...
And that's counting picking up Leah at SFO...
Great. I get to read THIS post, and I haven't even had breakfast yet... ;-)
I SO wish we were actually doing this...do I sense a "family reunion" somewhere down the pike?
It's only 8:20 but pass me an ice-cold beer from the cooler!
i can't take it anymore! two TT posts in a row on the foods of summer. that corn...ahhh! gonna gain weight by the end of reading all these! happy summer!
Loud charades indeed! While playing volleyball...and I can bring a bull-horn, if need be :)
And is that remote cooler all-terrain?
Awesome, save some watermelon for me, please! :)
I've got TWISTER!!!!
Gosh, we have so many new faces here. I really have been away longer than I thought. Silver Fox, Subtorp 77, Brian Miller,(I've seen you around every where else) and Wings Welcome to The Wild Onion. Buckel up because sometimes, we do live up to our name and get a bit crazy around this joint! To everyone else, that have commented and are lurking, HI!!!
Opps, I forgot to welcome Jill. Sorry for the oversight, Jill, but you are welcome here too!
Cece... I did some advertising. I've been writing the website address on bathroom walls all over California.
It really is fun to see new faces at this picnic!
Anyone want to go for a night-time swim in the lake with me? It's a little spooky, but the cool water is refreshing! We'll take our picnic cooler of beer and watermelon down to the dock with us.
my first visit to your blog. wonderful, festive images. i'm hungry!
I'm with Leah again!!! Yeah! How about some good old fashioned SKINNY dipping??? Beer induced, of course. All that burpy gas in our stomachs will help us float better.
HI MEGS...CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW!! I think LOUD Charades is the game and Twister is good too. Scrabble might be a little too quiet...oh, but wait when I play Scrabble I go for the juggler and get really LOUD AND CALL PEOPLE NAMES!!
Ok, part 2 of my comment,lol. It is late so what can I say. Just don't send Cece or Suze after me.
It is great to meet and greet all of our "visiters". Welcome to all, just watch out, it can get really Wild...
I have some great Michigan strawberries and the Cherries should be ready real soon.
*looks around for our fav justbob...ready for a shot of Crown on the rocks, please*
Could not find that Jorge, who hired him anyway, grr.
*heads back to garage*
As it heads into the dead of winter here down under, this sumptuous summer BBQ's seems like a distant memory, only to be rekindled when summer & Xmas time comes round again.
Wheeee!!! A picnic...can we break out the water balloons and the potato sacks for a race???
Suze is missing the picnic. Do you think she's in jail for not paying that traffic ticket?
First time here. Loved the TT, great pics. I don't know if I have any games in mind but I do love charades!
I'll take a wee bit of everything!!!
HI GANG!!! Yes, I'm back. Bigger. Bolder. Bitchier than ever. Hummmmmmmm. Is Bitchier a word? Bob, did I spell it right? It doesn't look right.
Blottie (aka BBBB ~ sounds like an all girl group!)
Get over here and let me give you a hug. A smooch too!
Welcome back Blottie!
Hi baby! Gotta go! Thank you. I discovered the previous post. Too fun. Of course I responded to dear friends. Bob, we're lucky, you know? I love you so.
XO Blottie
P.S. Oh dear lord. So many "Blotties" I forget who the hell I am. I'm Blottie #1. Right?
