We had a September picnic in the park!!! It was so beautiful! I am going to have so many picnics next year and a few more this year. AND we had dogs!!!!!!!
They are my friend Kelsey’s dogs. You will get more photos later. I promise. But now on to cocktails!!!
I have a ton of mason jars around, so I decided it would be super awesome to use them as glasses. And don’t they look really cool! I love them.
I am not a big gin and tonic fan, but with the cherry and lime, it was delicious.
