picnic- a meal you eat outside
Having a picnic is a favorite summer activity. When you plan a picnic, you prepare foods that are easy to eat and put them in a basket or cooler. Picnics are sometimes held in parks. Along with the basket of food, people usually take a blanket so they can sit on the ground comfortably, without getting dirty. If you were planning a picnic, what would you take with you?
